Populations of fish are declining across the globe. While the specific causes of the declines are unknown it is suspected that they are related to changing ice and water temperature as lakes have experienced reduced ice cover and significant thermal warming in response to environmental change. What is needed is a globally coordinated experiment to test the causes for these declines. Funds are provided to support US participants in a two-day international workshop to design and coordinate a cross-latitudinal, cross-continental experiment to evaluate the ability of freshwater whitefishes (subfamily Coregoninae) to adapt to changing temperature and habitat changes across global latitudes. Workshop participants will design a large-scale common experiment to identify the causes and consequences of global scale changes in lake temperature and ice cover.This workshop will provide a unique opportunity to design and implement an international collaborative global scale experiment to assess the role of changing global thermal regimes on the role of adaptation and plasticity to changes in life history, physiology, and phenotype through genetic and epigenetic changes of a key freshwater fish family. It will be the first experiment designed to evaluate changing thermal regimes across a broad latitudinal gradient and provide a unique forum to ensure standardization, coordinated implementation, and robust data management. The workshop offers an excellent opportunity to integrate and encourage ecological and molecular approaches to enhance and strengthen understanding of environmental change impacts on global fish populations. Besides the direct fisheries management impacts of the research, it will serve as a significant training experience in team science for the participating graduate students and early career faculty. The workshop is a joint partnership between universities and federal agencies in the USA and French National Institute for Agricultural Research, with 25 participants from 13 countries.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

全球鱼类种群正在下降。虽然降低的特定原因尚不清楚，但由于湖泊经历了冰盖降低和响应环境变化的大量热变暖，因此怀疑它们与冰和水温变化有关。需要的是全球协调的实验，以测试这些下降的原因。提供了为期两天的国际研讨会上的我们的参与者，以设计和协调跨载体的跨陆实验，以评估淡水白鱼（亚家族Coregoninae）的能力，以适应整个全球纬度之间变化的温度和栖息地变化的变化。研讨会参与者将设计一个大规模的共同实验，以确定湖泊温度和冰覆盖的全球尺度变化的原因和后果。本研讨会将为设计和实施国际协作全球尺度实验提供独特的机会，以评估全球热热制度对适应性和可塑性对生活历史，生理学，生理学和景观的变化的变化的作用的作用。这将是第一个旨在评估广泛纬度梯度中不断变化的热度制度的实验，并提供了一个独特的论坛，以确保标准化，协调实施和强大的数据管理。该研讨会为整合和鼓励生态和分子方法提供了一个绝佳的机会，以增强和加强对环境变化对全球鱼类种群的影响的理解。 除了直接的渔业管理对研究的影响外，它将为参与研究生和早期职业教师提供团队科学的重要培训经验。该研讨会是美国大学和法国国家农业研究所之间的共同合作伙伴关系，来自13个国家 /地区的25名参与者。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准通过评估来进行评估。
