Martin Wikelski 0950470 Integrative Migration Biology SymposiumMost people are familiar with the phenomenon of migration, though they may not realize how important it is. Migration has been called a keystone behavior by some researchers because of the large effects that migratory animals have on their ecosystems. One of the main goals of this meeting is to bring together researchers who are trying to understand how and why animals migrate so that biologists can understand, for example, how to conserve salmon in the Pacific Northwest and how migrants may affect the spread of the avian flu. The best way to answer these important questions is to perform integrative research on migration, which combines, among other things, multiple scientific disciplines (such as meteorology, genetics, physiology, and behavior), many different species, and laboratory-based and field-based studies. This meeting and the associated travel grants are designed to attract students and post-doctoral researchers interested in migration from all over the world, which is appropriate since migration is a global phenomenon. The meeting will allow these young investigators to mingle with the speakers and other researchers who are committed to performing integrative migration biology. The students will also have the opportunity to present their own research in coordinated sessions. Individuals who are not able to attend the meeting will be able to gain insights about migration biology through papers authored by the speakers and published in the journal, Integrative and Comparative Biology, a high-impact, well-read journal. Overall, this meeting is designed to increase the visibility of integrative migration biology and promote integrative projects that will lead to a deeper understanding of a phenomenon that has puzzled both children and adults everywhere for hundreds of years: how and why do animals migrate?

马丁·维克尔斯基（Martin Wikelski）0950470综合迁移生物学研讨会大多数人熟悉迁移现象，尽管他们可能没有意识到它的重要性。 一些研究人员称迁移被称为基石行为，因为迁移动物对其生态系统的影响很大。 这次会议的主要目标之一是将试图了解动物迁移的研究人员汇集在一起​​，以使生物学家可以理解，例如，如何保护西北太平洋的鲑鱼以及移民如何影响禽流感的传播。 回答这些重要问题的最佳方法是对迁移进行综合研究，这些研究结合了多个科学学科（例如气象，遗传学，生理学和行为），许多不同的物种以及基于实验室和现场的研究。这次会议和相关的旅行赠款旨在吸引对来自世界各地移民感兴趣的学生和博士后研究人员，这是适当的，因为移民是一种全球现象。 这次会议将使这些年轻的研究人员与致力于进行综合迁移生物学的演讲者和其他研究人员交往。 学生还将有机会在协调会议上进行自己的研究。 无法参加会议的个人将能够通过演讲者撰写的论文并发表在《综合和比较生物学》杂志上，这是一本高影响力的杂志。 总体而言，这次会议旨在提高综合迁移生物学的可见性，并促进综合项目，这将导致人们对在数百年中对各地的儿童和成人困惑的现象有更深入的了解：动物如何以及为什么迁移？
