Workshop on Future Directions in Zooplankton Research, Fall 1989

将举办一次研讨会，讨论浮游动物研究的当前和未来方向。将选出大约40名参与者，以最大限度地扩大研讨会上代表的想法、方法、分类学专业知识和学科的多样性。本次会议的主要目标将是为当前和未来浮游动物生物学研究的多样性创建一个跨学科框架。举办这次研讨会的动机是认识到浮游动物研究对我们理解和管理湖泊和海洋具有重要的实际意义。此外，本研究对生物体生物学和种群生物学中的一般问题(基础研究)具有重要的价值。这次研讨会将是第一次尝试从概念上综合这些目标，从而为一个正在经历快速专业化的领域提供广阔的前景。讲习班的结果将以两种形式公布：一份简明版本将提交给欧空局公报，一份更完整的版本将作为一本书出版。

A workshop will be held to discuss current and future directions zooplankton research. Approximately 40 participants will be chosen to maximize the diversity of ideas, approaches, taxonomic expertise, and disciplines represented at the workshop. The major goal of this meeting will be to create an interdisciplinary framework for the diversity of current and future research in zooplankton biology. Motivation for this workshop stems from a recognition that zooplankton research is of major practical importance to our understanding and management of lakes and oceans. In addition, this research is of significant value to general questions (basic research) in organismal and population biology. This workshop will be a first attempt to conceptually synthesize these goals, and hence broad perspective for a field experiencing rapid specialization. Results from the workshop will be published in two forms: a condensed version will be submitted to the ESA bulletin, and a more complete version will appear as a book.
