9714044 Silander This dissertation enhancement grant supports a US graduate student, Mr. Steven Pousty, working under the guidance of Dr. John Silander, Professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Connecticut, to conduct a study on a terrestrial isopod in the Negev Desert in Israel. Data will be collected on Hemilepistus reaumuri to determine the effect of spatial heterogeneity on dispersal and population dynamics. The individual and population data will be integrated into a simulation model which will allow Mr. Pousty to examine the feasibility of scaling from individual movement to larger spatial scales in heterogeneous environments. Dr. Moshe Shachak, of the Department of Biology at the Ben Gurion University of the Negev, will collaborate with Mr. Pousty on this project. This study will make an important contribution to the existing knowledge on the role that dispersal has in scaling organisms to their landscapes, and to our understanding of larger-scale patterns in landscape ecology. The grant will also provide support to enable a promising student to establish a strong, independent research career. ***

9714044 Silander 此项论文强化资助支持美国研究生 Steven Pousty 先生在康涅狄格大学生态学和进化生物学教授 John Silander 博士的指导下，对内盖夫地区的陆地等足类动物进行研究以色列的沙漠。 将收集 Hemilepistus reaumuri 的数据，以确定空间异质性对扩散和种群动态的影响。 个人和人口数据将被整合到一个模拟模型中，这将使普斯蒂先生能够研究在异构环境中从个人移动扩展到更大空间尺度的可行性。 内盖夫本古里安大学生物系的 Moshe Shachak 博士将与 Pousty 先生合作开展该项目。 这项研究将为现有知识做出重要贡献，即扩散在生物体适应其景观的过程中所起的作用，以及我们对景观生态学中更大规模模式的理解。 该赠款还将提供支持，使有前途的学生能够建立强大的、独立的研究生涯。 ***
