项目摘要

Proposal 0456110PI WoottonIn this U.S.-Chile dissertation-enhancement project supported by the Americas Program of the Office of International Science and Engineering, John Wootton and Lisa Nelis of the University of Chicago will pursue a program of research using a combination of field experiments and modeling to investigate how a non-indigenous herbivore (a rabbit) affects the structure of plant communities invaded by a non-indigenous plant (trun). Research conducted on Robinson Crusoe Island, Chile will address (1) mechanisms that control rates and patterns of invasion, (2) the role of epizoochory in dispersal of seeds of native and non-indigenous plants, and (3) the potential for synergistic, cross-trophic interactions among non-indigenous organisms. This research will be done in collaboration with Jose Miguel Farina Rivas from the Pontifical Catholic University of Chile and CONAF, the Chilean counterpart to the US National Park Service.Interactive effects of different exotic species are poorly understood, and this work will have significant implications for managing an island ecosystem. The project focuses on a topic of considerable importance to conservation of native biota and will facilitate an excellent collaboration between American and Chilean ecologists. Each year of the study, copies of all new data, results, and publications will be archived with all participants, and with CONAF for their records and for their use in applications for funding for conservation and restoration of the islands.

提案0456110PI Woottinin由国际科学与工程办公室，芝加哥大学的约翰·伍顿和丽莎·尼利斯（John Wootton）和丽莎·尼利斯（Lisa Nelis）提供了一项研究计划，将通过野外实验和模型的组合来研究一项繁殖（统治）的建筑（犹太人的建筑）（犹太教）的结合（芝加哥大学）的研究计划（非土著植物（Trun）。智利对罗宾逊·克鲁索岛（Robinson Crusoe Island）进行的研究将解决（1）控制率和侵袭模式的机制，（2）EpizooChory在天然和非土著植物的种子分散中的作用，以及（3）非原始生物体之间的协同，跨性相互作用的潜力。这项研究将与智利天主教大学和康纳夫，美国国家公园服务公司的智利天主教大学的何塞·米格尔·法琳娜·里瓦斯（Jose Miguel Farina Rivas）合作进行。对不同外来物种的相互作用效应知之甚少，这项工作将对管理一个岛屿生态系统具有重要意义。该项目着重于一个对保护本地生物群的重要性的主题，并将促进美国和智利生态学家之间出色的合作。研究的每一年，所有新数据，结果和出版物的副本都将与所有参与者一起存档，并与CONAF进行记录以及用于资金用于保护和恢复岛屿的申请。
