Biodiversity: The Interface Between Systematics and Conservation Workshop in Bloomington, IN (June 23-27, 2000)

该奖项将部分资助2000年6月23-27日在印第安纳州布鲁明顿举行的题为“生物多样性：系统与保护之间的接口”的专题讨论会，该专题讨论会由系统生物学家学会(SSB)、进化研究学会(SSE)、美国自然学家学会(ASN)以及热带生物学协会(ATB)联合召开。本次研讨会由SSB和ATB共同主办。它将汇集与生物多样性和保护有关的各种领域的研究人员，讨论系统学与其研究的相关性，并评估利用系统和分类学数据的各种技术。这一主题是及时的，因为人们越来越认识到系统数据在保护生物学中的重要性，以及在这方面使用系统数据的丰富新方法。

This award is to partially fund the symposium "Biodiversity: the interface between systematics and conservation" held 23-27 June, 2000, in Bloomington, Indiana, at the joint meetings of the Society of Systematic Biologists (SSB), Society for the Study of Evolution (SSE), and the American Society of Naturalists (ASN), as well as the Association for Tropical Biology (ATB). this symposium is co-sponsored by the SSB and ATB. It will bring together researchers from a wide variety of fields related to biodiversity and conservation to discuss the relevance of systematics to their research and to evaluate various techniques that make use of systematic and taxonomic data. The topic is timely because of the increasing recognition of the importance of systematic data in conservation biology, and the wealth of new methods available for using systematic data in this context.
