Symposium: Historical Patterns of Developmental Integration

小行星9406574 这笔奖金将用于资助1995年1月在美国动物学家学会会议上举行的题为“发展一体化的历史模式”的专题讨论会的发言者的旅费、住宿费和登记费。 生物体的胚胎学或发育模式可以揭示对理解生物体群体成员之间关系重要的信息。 发言者，谁包括在这一领域的几个领导者，将解决有关发展数据（从分子到形态）的独立性与整合或相互依存的重要问题，以及如何将这些数据纳入系统发育分析或物种间关系的研究。 将出版专题讨论会的会议记录，以便向更广泛的受众传播这一信息，而不仅仅是那些能够出席和听取专题介绍的个人。 %%% 本次会议的演讲将讨论如何将胚胎学或发育信息纳入生物之间关系的分析中。 有时，发展信息可以为关系提供重要的新线索。 对不同生物群体成员之间关系的最佳和最完整的了解对于预测相关物种的生物学非常重要，包括可能发生或生产或有用的天然产物，如对抗人类或动物疾病的新药。 ***

9406574 ZELDITCH This award will support the travel, lodging expenses and registration costs for speakers in a symposium entitled "Historical patterns of developmental integration" which will be presented at the meetings of the American Society of Zoologists (ASZ) in January 1995. Patterns in the embryology or development of organisms can reveal information important to understanding the relationships among members of groups of organisms. The speakers, who include several leaders in this field, will address important questions about the independence vs integration or interdependence of developmental data (from molecular to morphological) and how to incorporate such data in phylogenetic analyses or the study of relationships among species. Proceedings of the symposium will be published so that this information is disseminated to a wider audience that just those individuals able to attend and hear the presentations. %%% The talks given at this meeting will address means of incorporating embryological or developmental information into analysis of the relationships among living things. Sometimes, developmental information can shed important new light on relationships. The best and most complete knowledge of the relationships among members of different groups of living things is very important for predicting things about the biology of related species, including the possible occurrence or production or useful natural products such new drugs to combat human or animal diseases. ***
