Conference: Support student and early professional attendance to the Species on the Move international conference

几乎所有的物种都将受到气候变化的影响。有些会受到很大的影响，有些则会受到一点影响，但由于预测对气候变化的反应是非常复杂的，因此关于哪个会受到影响还有很多争论。这需要许多学科的科学家共同努力，共同开发新的模型和其他尖端工具。该奖项将资助在佛罗里达举行的一次会议，以促进国际合作，探讨如何预测并可能减轻气候变化对生态和进化的影响。会议将汇集分子生物学、遗传学、生理学、微生物学和组学领域的专家，以及进化、生态学和生态系统生物学，以解决气候变化背景下性状、物种和群落进化方面的紧迫知识空白。与会者将讨论一些基础问题和新出现的问题，如由于气候变化谁将搬家，他们将从哪里搬到哪里，以及他们为什么要搬家。会议每天上午举行全体会议，讨论12个核心主题的前沿研究。上午全体会议期间的小组讨论将通过参与共同感兴趣的主题来最大限度地促进学者，管理人员和专业人员之间的交流。每个下午将包括3-4个并行会议，涉及12个主题。将有指导活动和会前研讨会，以吸引、培训和支持早期职业科学家。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Practically all species will be impacted by climate change. Some will be affected a lot and some a little, but there is much debate about which will be which because predicting responses to changing climate is enormously complicated. It will require the combined efforts of scientists from many disciplines, working together to develop new models and other cutting-edge tools. This award will fund a conference in Florida to foster international collaboration on ways in which ecological and evolutionary impacts of climate change can be predicted and perhaps mitigated.The conference will bring together scientists with expertise in molecular biology,genetics, physiology, microbiology, and the -omics fields, as well as evolution, ecology, andecosystems biology to address pressing gaps in knowledge related to the evolution of traits,species, and communities in the context of climate change. Attendees will address cornerstone and emerging issues pertaining to who is moving due to climate change, where they are moving to and from, and why they are moving. The conference is organized with plenary talks each morning featuring cutting edge research across each of 12 core themes. Panel discussions during the morning plenary sessions will be designed and structured to maximize exchange between academics, managers and professionals by engaging on a shared topic of interest. Each afternoon will consist of 3-4 concurrent sessions, across the 12 themes. There will be mentoring events and a pre-conference workshop to attract, train and support early-career scientists.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.
