International Research Fellowship Program: Phylogenetic Analysis of the Family Odontoceridae (Trichoptera) and A Revison of the Tropical Genus Marilia

[10737 . 70]国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够到国外进行3至24个月的研究。该计划的奖励为联合研究提供了机会，并利用独特或互补的设施、专业知识和国外的实验条件。该奖项将为Aysha L. Prather博士和Douglas C. Currie博士在加拿大安大略省多伦多皇家安大略博物馆生物多样性和保护生物学中心的工作提供24个月的支持。该项目支持对一个包括大量热带物种的热蝇科（毛翅目）进行系统发育和分类研究。该研究将产生基于系统发育的这些分类群的定义，并解决热带属内的分类问题。这项工作将在皇家安大略博物馆进行，由道格拉斯·柯里博士监督。柯里博士是一名Trichoptera和双翅目系统学家，曾在东南亚进行过广泛的工作。

The program's awards provide opportunities for joint research, and the use of unique or complementary facilities, expertise and experimental conditions abroad.This award will provide twenty-four months of support to Dr. Aysha L. Prather to work with Dr. Douglas C. Currie at the Royal Ontario Museum's Centre for Biodiversity and Conservation Biology in Toronto, Ontario in Canada.This project supports a phylogenetic and taxonomic study of a family of caddisflies (Trichoptera) that includes a large number of tropical species. The research will produce a phylogeny-based definition of these taxa and resolve taxonomic questions within a tropical genus. The work will be done at the Royal Ontario Museum under the supervision of Dr. Douglas Currie, a Trichoptera and Diptera systematist who has worked extensively in Southeast Asia.
