Symposium: ECOLOGICAL IMMUNOLOGY: RECENT ADVANCES AND APPLICATIONS FOR CONSERVATION AND PUBLIC HEALTHMartin WikelskiPrinceton UniversityAbstractEco-immunology has been an area of rapid growth over the last decade, and much has been learned about the costs of and variation in immune defenses of wild animals. This has led to new insights into life history evolution, parasite-mediated selection and mating preferences, as well as population and community level phenomena such as disease transmission patterns and biological invasions. Further advances in this field have the potential to provide a better understanding of host and parasite community patterns and processes, including the emergence and spread of new infectious diseases, which could in turn allow us to make better decisions for preserving both biodiversity and human health. The symposium "Ecological Immunology: Recent Advances and Applications for Conservation and Public Health" has been selected by The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB) as a society-wide event at the 2006 annual meeting in Orlando, Florida, January 4-8th. The goals of this symposium are threefold: 1) Foster interdisciplinary collaborations between scientists from ecological, immunological, genetic, and medical fields; 2) break down barriers between researchers studying different taxonomic groups; and 3) encourage scientists engaged in basic and applied research to explore how cross-talk between the two could enhance the progress of both. The invited speakers will present on a broad range of topics and taxa, including ecological correlates of variation in immune function in free-ranging birds, immunity and disease in sea turtles and corals, the interaction of the immune system with the endocrine system and environmental toxins, and molecular evolution of the major histocompatibility complex (MHC). The eleven symposium speakers include individuals from typically underrepresented groups, including women (two), beginning investigators (four), and racial minorities (one). In addition to fostering collaborative efforts among diverse researchers, the emphasis of the symposium on conservation and public health applications is meant to push participants to think about and present their work in light of the benefits such basic research can provide society. The proceedings of the symposium will be summarized and submitted together as a series of papers to a widely-distributed journal; the editors of SICB's journal, Integrative and Comparative Biology, have already expressed interest in producing a special issue dedicated to this symposium.

研讨会：生态免疫学：在过去的十年中，保护和公共卫生马丁·韦克尔斯·斯特劳克斯顿大学的最新进步和应用是一个快速增长的领域，并且已经了解了很多关于野生动物免疫防御的成本和差异。这导致了对生活历史进化，寄生虫介导的选择和交配偏好以及人口和社区水平现象（例如疾病传播模式和生物学入侵）的新见解。该领域的进一步进步有可能更好地了解宿主和寄生虫社区模式和过程，包括新的传染病的出现和传播，这反过来又可以使我们能够为保护生物多样性和人类健康做出更好的决定。 1月4日至8日，在2006年在佛罗里达州奥兰多举行的2006年年度会议上，综合和比较生物学协会（SICB）选择了“生态免疫学：最新进步和应用程序”作为社会范围的活动。该研讨会的目标是三重：1）促进生态，免疫，遗传和医学领域科学家之间的跨学科合作； 2）分解研究不同分类群体的研究人员之间的障碍； 3）鼓励从事基础研究和应用研究的科学家探索两者之间的串扰如何增强两者的进步。受邀的扬声器将出现在广泛的主题和分类单元上，包括自由放养鸟类免疫功能变化的生态相关性，海龟和珊瑚中的免疫和疾病，免疫系统与内分泌系统与环境毒素的相互作用，以及主要的组织相称性复杂（MHC）的分子进化。 11个研讨会的演讲者包括来自通常代表性不足群体的个人，包括妇女（两个），初学者（四个）和少数族裔（一个）。除了促进多样化研究人员的合作努力外，关于保护和公共卫生应用研讨会的重点还旨在促使参与者考虑基础研究可以提供社会的好处来思考和展示他们的工作。研讨会的会议记录将作为一系列论文进行总结，并将其作为一系列广泛分布的日记。 SICB杂志《综合和比较生物学》的编辑已经表示有兴趣生产专门针对该研讨会的特刊。
