This award will provide support to post-doctoral fellows and junior scientists to attend a symposium on Neuroecology at the 2016 Annual meeting of the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology. The goal of this symposium is to bring together leading researchers across career stages to discuss the challenges and next steps in understanding how to link neural bases of behavior in natural settings and to natural stimuli. The topics will cover multiple scales of analysis, from molecular and cellular levels up to behavior and ecology. Eighteen invited speakers, chosen based on their creative contributions to the field and their ability to promote fruitful discussions, have confirmed their attendance. The results presented at the meeting will have the potential to guide future developments in understanding the neural mechanisms of sensory and motor processes that mediate ecolologically relevant behaviors.The intellectual merit of this meeting derives from its small size, which promotes interactions between participants, and the assembly of many top scientists whose research spans neurobiology, animal behavior and ecology. It spans a wide variety of experimental systems and focuses on areas of exceptional activity or promise. This combination leads to fruitful comparative analyses, raises new questions about underlying mechanisms and often leads to new collaborations. The outcomes of the award will include a symposium as part of the larger meeting, oral presentations by students and postdoctoral scholars, a breakout session to synthesize ideas in neuroscience, animal behavior and ecology and publication of the symposium proceedings. This award will also be instrumental in training a new generation of scientists in this interdisciplinary field.

该奖项将为博士后研究员和初级科学家提供支持，以参加2016年综合和比较生物学学会2016年会议上的神经生态学研讨会。这次研讨会的目的是将领先的研究人员跨职业阶段汇集在一起​​，讨论如何将自然环境中行为神经基础与自然刺激联系起来的挑战和下一步。主题将涵盖从分子和细胞水平到行为和生态学的多个分析量表。十八位受邀演讲者根据他们对该领域的创造性贡献以及促进富有成果的讨论的能力而选择的演讲者证实了他们的出席。会议上提出的结果将有可能指导未来的发展，以理解介导生态学相关行为的感觉和运动过程的神经机制。这次会议的智力优点源于其小规模，这促进了参与者之间的相互作用，并促进了许多顶级科学家的研究，其研究跨越了神经生物学，动物行为和生态学。它涵盖了各种各样的实验系统，并专注于非凡的活动或有希望的领域。这种结合导致了富有成果的比较分析，提出了有关潜在机制的新问题，并经常导致新的合作。该奖项的结果将包括一个研讨会，作为较大会议的一部分，学生和博士后学者的口头介绍，一项分组会议，以综合神经科学，动物行为和生态学的思想，并发表研讨会诉讼。该奖项还将有助于培训这个跨学科领域的新一代科学家。
