0813595 / 0813594Sagers / GarwoodThis international planning grant will support principal investigators, Sagers and Garwood, to travel to six countries (Mexico, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, French Guiana and Suriname) in order to form a network of researchers in several neotropical locations. For each of these countries the investigators have identified counterpart researchers who will help to plan the expected collaboration that will be the end result of these visits. Two graduate students will also each be included in their visits. The goal of the network is to study coevolutionary dynamics of the interaction between a prominent neotropical plant genus, Cecropia, and two groups of insects commonly associated with it: ants that mutualistically defend the plants from their natural enemies, and coccoids, plant herbivores that are mutualistically defended by those ants. The primary planed outcome of this grant will be the submission of several NSF proposals by the US members of this network in collaboration with their foreign collaborators. The proposed travel will be to assess foreign facilities, and study sites, and to have detailed discussions with prospective foreign partners.

0813595 / 0813594Sagers / Garwood 这项国际规划赠款将支持主要研究者 Sagers 和 Garwood 前往六个国家（墨西哥、哥伦比亚、厄瓜多尔、秘鲁、法属圭亚那和苏里南），以便在几个新热带地区建立研究人员网络。 对于这些国家中的每一个，调查人员都已确定了对应的研究人员，他们将帮助规划预期的合作，这将是这些访问的最终结果。 两名研究生也将参加他们的访问。该网络的目标是研究一种著名的新热带植物属天蚕属和通常与其相关的两组昆虫之间相互作用的共同进化动力学：蚂蚁和球​​虫（互惠互利地保护植物免受天敌侵害的蚂蚁）和球虫（植物食草动物）那些蚂蚁互惠互利地捍卫。 这笔赠款的主要计划成果将是该网络的美国成员与其外国合作者合作提交几项 NSF 提案。 拟议的旅行将评估外国设施和研究地点，并与潜在的外国合作伙伴进行详细讨论。
