This project will support a conference, Ecology in an Era of Globalization, which will be held in Merida, Mexico, January 8 - 12, 2006, co-hosted by the Ecological Society of America (ESA), the Universidad Autonoma de Yucatan and the Centro de Investigaciones Cientificas de Yucatan. This conference will be organized around three subthemes: invasive species and their spread due to ever increasing intra-hemispheric commerce and movement of merchandise and goods, human migration and its impacts on both source and recipient nations, and production systems, particularly the environmental impacts associated with the need to nearly double food production by mid-century. The conference results should have a broad impact on the environmental community. A special issue of the journal Frontiers will be distributed to all conference attendees, to all ESA members in 80 countries, and to subscribing libraries, providing a lasting and tangible product of the conference. This special issue will also be made available without charge on ESA's web site. Finally, this conference will develop a vision for an Ecological Knowledge Network that will promote the application of ecological knowledge and data to increase sustainability. It will enable users to rapidly access and synthesize existing information from multiple databases, link knowledge users with data and project-specific teams of local and international experts using web-conferencing facilities, and help researchers identify potential partners for collaboration. Finally, funding includes support for 33 US students, targeting members of underrepresented groups, to attend and participate in the conference.

该项目将支持“全球化时代的生态学”会议，该会议将于 2006 年 1 月 8 日至 12 日在墨西哥梅里达举行，由美国生态学会 (ESA)、尤卡坦自治大学和尤卡坦半岛科学研究中心。 本次会议将围绕三个分主题进行：入侵物种及其由于西半球内商业和商品和货物流动不断增加而造成的传播、人类迁徙及其对来源国和接受国的影响以及生产系统，特别是相关的环境影响到本世纪中叶需要将粮食产量增加近一倍。 会议结果应对环境界产生广泛影响。 Frontiers 杂志的特刊将分发给所有与会者、80 个国家的所有 ESA 成员以及订阅图书馆，为会议提供持久且有形的产品。 该特刊也将在欧空局网站上免费提供。 最后，本次会议将制定生态知识网络的愿景，促进生态知识和数据的应用，以提高可持续性。它将使用户能够快速访问和综合来自多个数据库的现有信息，使用网络会议设施将知识用户与数据和特定项目的本地和国际专家团队联系起来，并帮助研究人员确定潜在的合作伙伴。 最后，资金包括支持 33 名美国学生（针对代表性不足群体的成员）出席和参加会议。
