Distributed Graduate Seminars are an innovative approach to advancing science through an integration of research and education. The Dimensions of Biodiversity Distributed Graduate Seminar (DBDGS) focuses on increasing knowledge about biodiversity. The DBDGS will include 15-20 university teams, with international partners on four continents, and more than 100 students chosen from a wide range of disciplines needed to address biodiversity science (e.g., biology, geophysics, economics, anthropology, computer science and health). The scientific goals of the DBDGS include production of an on-line database of the state of knowledge about the taxonomic, genetic, and functional dimensions of biodiversity at the global level and a synthetic review on the integration of these and other dimensions of biodiversity to create a framework for future research and discovery. This DBDGS will have a fundamental impact on this emerging field through its focus on the graduate student community, both nationally and internationally. Distributed seminars provide an intense team-driven multi-disciplinary research experience that is likely to be important in future biodiversity research. Because Core Team members represent both academic and non-governmental organization institutions, graduate students will also be exposed to a range of scientific career pathways. The DBDGS will foster international collaboration among young scientists. Products of the seminar will be of interest to a broad range of researchers and will include open-access databases, student-led publications, and a symposium highlighting DBDGS findings at the Ecological Society of America annual meeting.

分布式研究生研讨会是通过整合研究和教育来推进科学的创新方法。生物多样性分布的研究生研讨会（DBDG）的尺寸着重于增加对生物多样性的知识。 DBDG将包括15-20个大学团队，拥有四大洲的国际合作伙伴，以及100多名学生从针对生物多样性科学（例如生物学，地球物理学，经济学，人类学，计算机，计算机科学和健康）中所需的广泛学科中选出的100多名学生。 DBDG的科学目标包括生产有关全球生物多样性的分类学，遗传和功能维度的知识状态的在线数据库，以及关于这些生物多样性和其他生物多样性的整合的综合综述，以创造一个未来研究和发现的框架。该DBDG将通过关注在国内和国际上的研究生社区对这个新兴领域产生根本性的影响。分布式研讨会提供了激烈的团队驱动的多学科研究经验，在未来的生物多样性研究中可能很重要。由于核心团队成员代表学术和非政府组织机构，因此研究生也将接触到一系列科学的职业途径。 DBDG将促进年轻科学家之间的国际合作。研讨会的产品将引起广泛的研究人员的关注，其中包括开放式数据库，由学生主导的出版物以及在美国生态学会年度会议上强调DBDGS的研讨会。
