This award will support scientists to participate in a symposium at the 2014 meeting of theSociety of Comparative and Integrative Biology in Austin, Texas focused on unifying cellular and biochemical mechanisms with studies of mate choice and social interactions within the broader investigation of ornamental traits. It will bring together experts on the mechanisms that link condition, stress, and ornaments (and armaments). Over the past two decades, the hypothesis that ornamental traits signal the condition of animals has become a prominent paradigm in behavioral and evolutionary biology. This symposium wil integrate insights from physiological studies of stress response, particularly related to endocrine control, immune systems, and oxidative state, with evolutionary investigations of animal ornamentation. By convening a symposium on a central topic in evolutionary and physiological ecology, information will be made available to the numerous graduate students, undergrads, postdocs, and faculty who attend SICB meetings. By filling half of the presentation slots with early career scientists including a majority of slots filled by women, the symposium will promote the development of a talented group of U.S. scientists. Through social events, students will have a chance to interact with prominent researchers.

该奖项将支持科学家参加 2014 年在德克萨斯州奥斯汀举行的比较与综合生物学学会会议的研讨会，该会议的重点是在更广泛的观赏性状研究中将细胞和生化机制与配偶选择和社会互动研究相结合。它将汇集条件、压力和装饰品（和军备）联系机制方面的专家。 在过去的二十年里，装饰性状预示着动物状况的假说已成为行为和进化生物学的一个重要范例。本次研讨会将整合应激反应生理学研究的见解，特别是与内分泌控制、免疫系统和氧化状态相关的知识，以及动物装饰的进化研究。通过召开关于进化和生理生态学中心主题的研讨会，将为参加 SICB 会议的众多研究生、本科生、博士后和教师提供信息。通过将一半的演讲席位由早期职业科学家占据，其中大部分席位由女性占据，研讨会将促进一批才华横溢的美国科学家的发展。通过社交活动，学生将有机会与著名研究人员互动。
