Daily and seasonal cues, such as changing light levels, are important environmental signals that help to regulate behavior, physiology and reproduction in diverse organisms. Circadian clocks are internal molecular pathways that allow organisms to respond to these environmental cues. This proposal will support a symposium titled "Keeping Time during Animal Evolution: Conservation and Innovation of the Circadian Clock" at the January 2013 Annual Meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology to be held in San Francisco, California. This symposium will highlight current research related to the circadian clock from diverse animals, including sponges, cnidarians, insects, and vertebrates. The overall aim of the symposium is to bring together researchers utilizing a range of organismal models and approaches, to develop an integrative understanding of the circadian clock in animal ecology, and evolution and to foster discussions for collaborative projects to propel this field into the future. This symposium will include oral presentations by 11 speakers who have committed to presenting novel, integrative research related to the circadian clock. These speakers include 1 postdoc, 1 assistant professor, 3 associate professors, and 6 full professors. Additionally, this award will provide partial funding for participation of 3 graduate students in a complementary session. The student travel funds will be targeted aggressively toward members of underrepresented groups. Three of the speakers are women and two are international experts (England, Germany). For domestic speakers, the institutions represented are located throughout the United States and represent universities (6 speakers) and research institutions (3 speakers). The collection of speakers represents the first major effort to bring together a diverse panel of researchers in animal circadian biology, with a focus on the evolution and ecology of this critical signaling network. This symposium will create a synergism of leaders in this field with new researchers, both students and early career faculty. The abstracts from this symposium will be published on the SICB website with a dedicated page developed to highlight this symposium (http://www.sicb.org/meetings/2013/symposia/index.php). All symposium participants will submit manuscripts for publication in the society's journal, Integrative and Comparative Biology (http://www.sicb.org/publications/icb.php3), which is available electronically and indexed by many databases including NCBI/Pubmed. This volume of publications will serve as a collection of novel data as well as synthesized results and theory to propel the field of comparative circadian biology into the future.

日常和季节性线索，例如光照水平的变化，是重要的环境信号，有助于调节不同生物体的行为、生理和繁殖。昼夜节律钟是允许生物体对这些环境线索做出反应的内部分子途径。该提案将支持 2013 年 1 月在加利福尼亚州旧金山举行的综合与比较生物学学会年会上举办题为“动物进化过程中保持时间：昼夜节律时钟的保护和创新”的研讨会。 本次研讨会将重点介绍与海绵、刺胞动物、昆虫和脊椎动物等多种动物的生物钟相关的最新研究。研讨会的总体目标是汇集利用一系列生物模型和方法的研究人员，形成对动物生态学和进化中的生物钟的综合理解，并促进合作项目的讨论，以推动该领域走向未来。 本次研讨会将包括 11 位演讲者的口头演讲，他们致力于介绍与生物钟相关的新颖的综合研究。 其中博士后1名，助理教授1名，副教授3名，正教授6名。 此外，该奖项将为 3 名研究生参加补充课程提供部分资金。 学生旅行资金将积极针对代表性不足的群体成员。 其中三名发言人是女性，两名是国际专家（英国、德国）。 对于国内演讲者来说，所代表的机构遍布美国各地，代表大学（6 名演讲者）和研究机构（3 名演讲者）。 此次演讲代表了动物昼夜节律生物学领域不同研究人员小组的首次重大努力，重点关注这一关键信号网络的进化和生态学。 这次研讨会将在该领域的领导者与新研究人员（包括学生和早期职业教师）之间建立协同作用。 本次研讨会的摘要将发布在 SICB 网站上，并开发专门页面来突出本次研讨会（http://www.sicb.org/meetings/2013/symposia/index.php）。 所有研讨会参与者将提交手稿以在学会的期刊《综合与比较生物学》(http://www.sicb.org/publications/icb.php3) 上发表，该期刊可通过电子方式获取，并被包括 NCBI/Pubmed 在内的许多数据库索引。 该出版物将收集新颖的数据以及综合结果和理论，以推动比较昼夜节律生物学领域走向未来。
