Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for FY 1998

本行动资助了美国国家科学基金会1998年与环境有关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金为研究员提供了一个获得博士学位之外的额外科学培训的机会，并在美国国家科学基金会生物科学理事会支持的任何生物学领域中，在分子、细胞、有机体、种群、群落和/或生态系统层面上，对生物与其环境之间相互作用的基本机制进行创新和富有想象力的研究。每个奖学金支持在赞助实验室进行的研究和培训计划。该奖学金的研究和培训计划题为“应对全球气候变化的植物和马鹿繁殖策略”。研究人员正在分析包含挪威50年植物和30年马鹿繁殖数据的数据库，以揭示与北大西洋涛动（NAO）有关的全球气候的长期变化如何影响这两个相互作用的物种。这些结果将有助于我们了解当地种群中植物和脊椎动物对大规模气候变化的生殖反应，并可用于预测它们对全球气候变化的反应。

Abstract DBI-9804178 Eric S. Post This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1998. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative research into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled reproductive strategies of plants and red deer in response to global climatic variation. Databases on reproduction containing 50 years of data on plants and 30 years on red deer in Norway are being analyzed to reveal how long-term variation in global climate related to the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) have affected these 2 interacting species. The results will inform our understanding of reproductive responses of plants and vertebrates in local populations to large-scale variation in climate and can be used to predict their responses to global climate change.
