项目摘要

0440648MarkowThis U.S.-Mexico research experiences for undergraduates activity, organized by professor Therese A. Markow of the University of Arizona, intends to bring together students from the United States and Mexico to conduct original research in the Sonoran desert on the U.S.-Mexico border. Funding will help to support an initial intensive two-week research course offered annually in Guaymas, Sonora, Mexico to six students from the U.S. and follow-up activities that will offer the students a variety of related research activities in which to participate. These activities will be divided among research activities in both the U.S. and Mexico. The U.S. students will be joined by a similar number of students from Mexico supported by Mexican and other sources, to promote a truly binational research experience on the topic of insect biodiversity and anthropogenic change in the Sonoran Desert. The project explores insect biodiversity and its interaction with an ecosystem that is experiencing rapid land conversion. The research will also examine the relationship of biodiversity to ecosystem health, climate, economics, disease and anthropogenic change. In addition, the activity will provide students with an understanding of the insect fauna of the region and will explore the effects of habitat loss while encouraging research-based learning of biological concepts.

Markow教授组织的本科生活动经验，打算将美国和墨西哥的学生聚集在一起，在美国 - 墨西哥边境的索诺兰沙漠中进行原始研究。资金将有助于支持墨西哥索诺拉（Sonora）的瓜伊马斯（Guaymas）每年提供的最初的两周研究课程，向来自美国的六名学生提供，并将为学生提供各种参与的相关研究活动。这些活动将在美国和墨西哥的研究活动中分配。美国的学生将与墨西哥和其他来源支持的来自墨西哥的类似学生一起加入，以促进有关索诺兰沙漠中昆虫生物多样性和人为变化的主题的真正民族研究经验。该项目探讨了昆虫的生物多样性及其与正在经历土地快速转化的生态系统的相互作用。该研究还将研究生物多样性与生态系统健康，气候，经济学，疾病和人为变化的关系。此外，该活动将为学生提供对该地区昆虫动物区系的了解，并将探索栖息地丧失的影响，同时鼓励基于研究的生物学概念学习。
