9301833 Siver This U.S.-Argentina Cooperative Science award will support the collaboration of Peter Siver of Connecticut College and Maria Vigna of the University of Buenos Aires, Argentina. The project aims to examine the biodiversity and ecological requirements of the algal flora Chrysophyta in the Parana River system. The Chrysophyta, especially the scale-bearing species, represent one of the most important bioindicator groups of aquatic organisms. Their biodiversity in subtropical waters is poorly understood. This project, an initial phase of a large-scale study, will describe the composition and distribution of species along environmental gradients for the river's deltaic region. The flora will be compared to other subtropical, tropical, temperate, and arctic regions in order to understand the spatial distribution of this algal group. Organisms not known to science will be identified and described. Both the U.S. and the Argentine sides will benefit from development of a database for use in paleolimnological inference work aimed at understanding the effects of human disturbances on aquatic resources. ***

9301833 Siver这个美国 - 阿根廷合作科学奖将支持康涅狄格学院的彼得·西弗（Peter Siver）和阿根廷布宜诺斯艾利斯大学的玛丽亚·维格纳（Maria Vigna）的合作。 该项目旨在检查帕拉纳河系统中藻类群谷藻的生物多样性和生态要求。 菊苣，尤其是含比例的物种，代表了水生生物最重要的生物指导群之一。 他们在亚热带水域中的生物多样性知之甚少。 该项目是一项大规模研究的初始阶段，它将描述河流三角洲地区环境梯度沿着环境梯度的组成和分布。 将菌群与其他亚热带，热带，温带和北极区域进行比较，以了解该藻类基团的空间分布。 科学所知的生物将被识别和描述。 美国和阿根廷人的一方都将受益于开发数据库，​​用于用于了解人类干扰对水生资源的影响。 ***
