U.S.-Chile Workshop: First Symposium on Austral Migration, Puerto Varas, Chile, Fall 2003

这个美国-智利奖将支持佛罗里达大学的道格拉斯·j·利维博士、亚历克斯·e·贾汉先生和金伯利·g·史密斯博士与弗罗里达大学的道格拉斯·j·利维博士共同召开第一次关于南方鸟类迁徙的研讨会。智利大学的Rodrigo Vasquez和Pablo Sabat，将于2003年10月在智利的巴拉斯港举行。本次研讨会的目的是促进鸟类南迁问题的国际合作。会议将在智利新热带鸟类学大会（NOC）之前和期间举行。来自学术机构的主要研究人员以及北美联邦和非政府注重保护的组织的代表将与他们的南美同行聚集在一起。这将为北美开发的研究移民的技术提供重要的交流，这些技术很容易被南美的研究人员采用。此外，南美洲移民的独立演变可以用来为北美发展的移民理论提供严格的检验，从而实现互利共赢。

Smith, University of Florida, in convening the first symposium on austral bird migration with Drs. Rodrigo Vasquez and Pablo Sabat of Universidad de Chile, to be held in Puerto Varas, Chile in October, 2003.The goal of this symposium is to catalyze international collaboration on austral migration of birds. The meeting will take place immediately before and during the Neotropical Ornithological Congress (NOC) in Chile. Leading researchers from academic institutions and representatives of both federal and non-governmental conservation-oriented organizations in North America will be brought together with their South American counterparts. This will provide important exchanges of technology developed in North America to study migration that can be easily adopted by South American researchers. In addition, the independent evolution of migration in South America can be used to provide rigorous tests of migration theories developed in North America, thus providing mutual benefit.
