项目摘要

In this project small groups of graduate and undergraduate students from Humboldt State University and Missouri Western State University will engage with faculty in applied ecological research in Kenya. The research will extend work from a previous IRES award and launch new collaborations with foreign partners. The program has a unifying theme of investigating the effect of rising temperature on insect pests and their natural enemies in coffee farming landscapes. Specific research questions will involve field sampling, computer modeling, and molecular analyses in the lab, thereby training students in several scientific methodologies. Students will take courses in the fall and spring semesters that will prepare them for, and aid their analysis of, field research conducted over 5-week field seasons in Kenya. Students and professors will work in coordination with ornithologists and entomologists from Kenya's National Museums of Kenya and the International Centre of Insect Physiology and Ecology. The work will be integrated with classroom instruction, extending the benefits of the project to other students at our predominately undergraduate institutions. Students will be fully immersed in the international research process, they will collaborate with foreign and U.S. mentors, and they will benefit from the program's unique integration of field- and classroom-based learning.

在这个项目中，来自洪堡州立大学和西密苏里州州立大学的研究生和本科生小组将与肯尼亚的应用生态学研究的教师进行接触。该研究将扩展先前IRES奖项的工作，并与外国合作伙伴开展新的合作。该计划有一个统一的主题，即调查温度升高对咖啡种植景观中害虫及其天敌的影响。具体的研究问题将涉及现场采样、计算机建模和实验室中的分子分析，从而对学生进行多种科学方法的培训。学生将参加秋季和春季学期的课程，这将为他们做好准备，并帮助他们分析在肯尼亚进行的为期5周的实地调查。学生和教授将与肯尼亚国家博物馆和国际昆虫生理学和生态学中心的鸟类学家和昆虫学家协调工作。这项工作将与课堂教学相结合，将该项目的好处扩展到我们主要的本科院校的其他学生。学生将完全沉浸在国际研究过程中，他们将与外国和美国导师合作，他们将受益于该计划独特的实地和课堂学习的整合。
