Abstract DBI 9750160 Vladimir V. Pravoudov This action funds an NSF Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Biosciences Related to the Environment for 1997. This fellowship provides an opportunity for the Fellow to gain additional scientific training beyond the doctoral degree and to pursue innovative and imaginative into the fundamental mechanisms underlying the interactions between organisms and their environment at the molecular, cellular, organismal, population, community and/or ecosystem level in any area of biology supported by the Directorate for Biological Sciences of the National Science Foundation. Each fellowship supports a research and training plan to be carried out in a sponsoring laboratory. The research and training plan for this fellowship is entitled "Social environment and energy strategies in birds." In the temperate zone, many small birds must survive harsh winters characterized by low ambient temperatures and reduced food supplies. It has been hypothesized that food-caching birds use food-caches as an alternative to body fat storage, allowing them to maintain lower body mass. Most food-caching birds live in socially structured groups where dominants have priority access to food. This research investigates the impact of the social environment on optimal fattening and caching strategies in wintering caching birds. Both empirical and stochastic dynamic game modeling approaches are being used.

摘要 DBI 9750160 Vladimir V. Pravoudov 这项行动资助了 1997 年 NSF 与环境相关的生物科学博士后研究奖学金。该奖学金为研究员提供了获得博士学位之外的额外科学培训的机会，并在基础研究中追求创新和想象力。生物科学理事会支持的任何生物学领域中生物体与其环境在分子、细胞、有机体、种群、群落和/或生态系统水平上相互作用的机制国家科学基金会的。 每项奖学金都支持在赞助实验室中进行的研究和培训计划。 该奖学金的研究和培训计划的标题是“鸟类的社会环境和能量策略”。 在温带地区，许多小型鸟类必须度过环境温度低和食物供应减少的严冬。 据推测，储存食物的鸟类使用食物储存作为体内脂肪储存的替代品，使它们能够保持较低的体重。大多数储存食物的鸟类生活在社会结构的群体中，其中占主导地位的鸟类可以优先获得食物。 本研究调查了社会环境对越冬贮藏鸟类最佳育肥和贮藏策略的影响。经验和随机动态博弈建模方法都被使用。
