9707864 Bevier The International Research Fellow Awards Program enables U.S. scientists and engineers to conduct three to twenty four months of research abroad. 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 support a six-month postdoctoral research visit by Dr. Catherine Robb Bevier to work with Dr. Carlos Arturo Navas at the Universidade de Sao Paulo in Brazil. This project involves field and laboratory studies of two tropical and two subtropical Brazilian treefrogs, the Hylids. These frogs exhibit variation in calling effort, habitat types along altitudinal and latitudinal clines, and body temperatures during periods of activity, allowing the study of their underlying physiological mechanisms from an ecological and behavioral perspective. Brazil offers a unique and environmentally variable field site, along with access to a population of closely related but behaviorally and ecologically diverse frogs. Dr. Bevier brings her research experience in the area of physiological and biochemical correlates of behavioral performance in frogs, while Dr. Navas is an expert in metabolic physiology. The results of their research will benefit scientists who have an interest in animal adaptation to cold and exercise physiology. ***

9707864 Bevier 国际研究员奖励计划使美国科学家和工程师能够在国外进行三到二十四个月的研究。该项目的奖项提供了联合研究以及使用国外独特或互补的设施、专业知识和实验条件的机会。 该奖项将支持 Catherine Robb Bevier 博士在巴西圣保罗大学与 Carlos Arturo Navas 博士进行为期六个月的博士后研究访问。 该项目涉及对两种热带和两种亚热带巴西树蛙（Hylids）进行实地和实验室研究。 这些青蛙在呼叫努力、沿海拔和纬度的栖息地类型以及活动期间的体温方面表现出变化，从而可以从生态和行为的角度研究其潜在的生理机制。 巴西提供了一个独特且环境多变的野外地点，以及接触密切相关但行为和生态多样化的青蛙种群的机会。贝维尔博士带来了她在青蛙行为表现的生理和生化相关领域的研究经验，而纳瓦斯博士是代谢生理学方面的专家。 他们的研究结果将使对动物适应寒冷和运动生理学感兴趣的科学家受益。 ***
