Insects and crustaceans represent critical, dominant animal groups (by biomass and species number) in terrestrial and aquatic systems, respectively. Insects and crustaceans were historically grouped under separate taxonomic classes under the Phylum Arthropoda, and for many years it was thought that myriapods might be the closest relatives to insects. New genetic data have made it clear that insects and other hexapods are nested within the crustaceans within the arthropod tree as a clade termed the Pancrustacea. This new evolutionary understanding provides the intellectual motivation to initiate a new focus in evolutionary physiology aimed at understanding commonalities and evolutionary trends in the Pancrustacea. This award will support a new type of symposium designed to promote synthetic collaborations across taxa and disciplines at the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology meeting at West Palm Beach, Florida, January 2015. In this symposium, researchers who work primarily on insects or crustaceans will work together on both their talks and manuscripts. In addition, each researcher will address a common set of focal, integrative questions in their talks and manuscripts. Audience participation will be a focus of the symposium and a post-seminar workshop. Some participants, including the trainees, may even contribute to the manuscripts as a result of their participation. This explicitly integrative approach to a symposium is novel at SICB and will hopefully galvanize further innovations that promote interdisciplinary synthesis. In addition, this award will support mentoring and scientific development of a large number of diverse junior investigators and trainees.

昆虫和甲壳类动物分别代表陆地和水生系统中关键的主要动物群（由生物量和物种数）。历史上，昆虫和甲壳类动物在天哪的分类类别下被分类为单独的分类类别，多年来，人们一直认为Myriapods可能是最接近昆虫的亲戚。新的遗传数据清楚地表明，昆虫和其他六足动物被称为pancrustacea时在节肢动物树内的甲壳类动物中嵌套。这种新的进化理解提供了智力动机，以启动旨在理解pancrustacea中共同性和进化趋势的进化生理学的新焦点。 该奖项将支持一种新型的研讨会，旨在在2015年1月在佛罗里达州西棕榈滩举行的综合和比较生物学会议上促进跨分类单元和学科的合成合作。在此研讨会上，主要从事昆虫或甲壳类动物的研究人员将在谈判和手稿上共同努力。此外，每个研究人员将在他们的演讲和手稿中讨论一系列焦点，综合问题。观众参与将是研讨会和审议后研讨会的重点。 一些参与者，包括受训者，甚至可能由于参与而为手稿做出贡献。这种明确的综合性方法在SICB上是新颖的，希望能够激发促进跨学科综合的进一步创新。此外，该奖项将支持大量不同的初级调查员和学员的指导和科学发展。
