项目摘要

Award Abstract - 9977377Functional Ecology is an integrative and interdisciplinary field that considers the biochemical, morphological and physiological bases of ecological processes, interactions and potential adaptations of organisms. Studies of Functional Ecology span levels of organization from parts of individuals through ecosystems. Although the field of Functional Ecology by its nature is integrative and interdisciplinary, much of the research traditionally progressed along separate taxonomic lines. Animal and plant studies have followed different trajectories, and, because of tradition in both training and research, few researchers work on both animal and plant systems. Similar divisions have occurred between terrestrial and aquatic systems, for both freshwater and marine systems. In addition, research into areas of physiological function is traditionally separate from studies of morphological and behavioral function.Functional Ecology research is equipment and technology dependent, much like Molecular Biology. Share use of expensive equipment, research collaborations among scientists with different areas of expertise, and mutual training of students in a single facility has proven to be very successful for students and researchers. This award will be used to develop a multi-user facility dedicated to research, training, and education in Functional Ecology. This facility will fill a crucial need in training in the area of Functional Ecology by providing equipment that can be used by a variety of researchers and students whose analytical needs overlap and whose research areas are complementary. The Ecology and Evolution Department at Stony Brook has a strong group of researchers in this field. A core facility housed in a common lab space will significantly enhance research capabilities, facilitate research collaboration, and will improve capacity to train both undergraduate and graduate students in the modern analytical methods are essential for Functional Ecology.

奖励摘要-9977377功能生态学是一个综合性和跨学科领域，它考虑了生态过程，相互作用和潜在适应生物学的生化，形态和生理基础。功能生态学的研究跨度从个人的部分到生态系统。尽管功能生态学的本质领域是综合性和跨学科的，但传统上，许多研究都沿着单独的分类学线进行。动物和植物研究遵循了不同的轨迹，并且由于培训和研究的传统，很少有研究人员从事动物和植物系统的工作。对于淡水和海洋系统，陆地和水生系统之间也发生了类似的划分。此外，对生理功能领域的研究传统上与形态和行为功能的研究是分开的。功能性生态学研究是设备和技术依赖性的，就像分子生物学一样。分享使用昂贵的设备，具有不同专业领域的科学家之间的研究合作以及单个设施中学生的相互培训，这对于学生和研究人员来说非常成功。该奖项将用于开发用于功能生态学研究，培训和教育的多用户设施。该设施将通过提供各种研究人员和学生可以使用的设备来满足功能生态学领域的培训至关重要的需求，这些研究人员和学生的分析需求重叠并且其研究领域是互补的。 Stony Brook的生态学和进化部门在该领域拥有强大的研究人员。在公共实验室空间中容纳的核心设施将显着增强研究能力，促进研究合作，并提高培训现代分析方法的本科和研究生的能力，对于功能生态学至关重要。
