This project will support a combined workshop and symposium to commemorate fifty years of interdisciplinary biological research at the Duke Lemur Center (DLC), and also, to highlight and evaluate the uniquely powerful attributes of Living Stocks Collections for the scientific community. The DLC has impacted biological disciplines ranging from behavioral ecology to brain sciences, evolutionary ecology, microbial metagenomics, comparative genomics, biomechanics, One Health disease dynamics, aging and demography, biodiversity conservation, paleontology, climate change, comparative physiology, speciation genetics, sensory biology, and more. The DLC is truly a living laboratory for advancing science, scholarship, and biological conservation through interdisciplinary research, and over its 50-year history, thousands of students ranging from K-12 through postgraduate levels have been engaged in and inspired by their experiences at the DLC. Also, hundreds of thousands of visitors from the general public have been exposed to the concepts of biodiversity discovery and conservation, as well as the power of biological research via their exposure to the DLC's staff, students, and collections. Despite its resounding success, however, the DLC and other Living Stocks Collections face issues of long-term sustainability as foundational infrastructure for the basic sciences. The power and irreplaceable nature of these biological collections needs to be articulated such that all stakeholders understand the risks and needs for these national resources.As a follow-up to the U.S. Culture Collection Network hosted in October, 2015 at the National Center for Genetic Resources Preservation, the DLC will host a working group meeting of Living Stocks Collection Managers on the afternoon of September 21, 2016. The working group will represent five of the leading Living Stock Centers, and given the phylogenetic breadth of the centers' foci (plants, fungi, insects, and mammals) the workshop will cover an enormous stretch of the Tree of Life, thus representing more than many hundreds of millions of years of evolution. The working group meeting will immediately precede the 50th-Anniversary Symposium to be hosted by the DLC. The Symposium to held on September 22-23, 2016 will focus specifically on disciplines relevant to the BIO Directorate, most especially Behavioral Systems, Climate Change, the Ecology and Evolution of Infectious Diseases, Evolutionary Processes, Systematics and Biodiversity, and Understanding the Brain. Meeting details and travel and lodging information will be communicated to attendees via the symposium website, http://lemur.duke.edu/50/; which is also set up to accept online registrations. In order to engage students and participants from smaller institutions, there will be a poster session held at the DLC on the evening of September 22, 2016. The DLC workshop and symposium is particularly notable for the strong representation of women in science with 51% of participants being women. Results from the Living Stocks Working Group will be compiled into a white paper document for which the participants will seek a publication venue that is broadly accessible to the biological community. All talks from the 50th Anniversary Symposium will be recorded and made publically available on the DLC's YouTube channel.

该项目将支持一个合并的研讨会和研讨会，以纪念杜克狐猴中心（DLC）的五十年跨学科生物学研究，并强调和评估科学界的活股收藏的独特属性属性。 DLC已经影响了从行为生态学到脑科学，进化生态学，微生物元素学，比较基因组学，生物力学，一种健康疾病动力学，衰老和人口统计学，生物多样性保护，古生物学，气候变化，比较物理学，比较物理学，遗传学，仿原遗传学，衰老，衰老和人口统计学。 DLC确实是通过跨学科研究来推进科学，奖学金和生物保护的实验室，并且在其50年的历史中，成千上万的学生从K-12到研究生级别的学生都受到了DLC的经验的参与和启发。 此外，来自公众的成千上万的游客已经接触到生物多样性发现和保护的概念，以及通过接触DLC的员工，学生和收藏的生物学研究的力量。 然而，尽管取得了巨大的成功，但DLC和其他活股收集了长期可持续性的问题，这是基础科学的基础基础设施。 这些生物收藏的功能和不可替代的性质需要阐明，以使所有利益相关者都了解这些国家资源的风险和需求。作为2015年10月在遗传资源保存的美国文化收集网络的后续，DLC将在2016年9月21日居住的五个工作组中，培训培养物中的库存群中，DLC将在全国遗传资源中心举行。中心的焦点（植物，真菌，昆虫和哺乳动物）将覆盖生命之树的巨大范围，从而代表了超过数亿年的进化。 工作组会议将在第50届年度纪念研讨会之前由DLC主持。 2016年9月22日至23日举行的研讨会将专门关注与生物局有关的学科，尤其是行为系统，气候变化，传染病的生态和进化，进化过程，系统和生物多样性以及了解大脑。 会议详细信息和旅行和住宿信息将通过研讨会网站http://lemur.duke.edu/50/传达给与会者。这也是为接受在线注册的设置。 为了吸引来自较小机构的学生和参与者，将于2016年9月22日晚上在DLC举行海报会议。DLC研讨会和研讨会尤其值得注意，对于妇女在科学中的强有力代表，其中51％的参与者是女性。 Living Stocks工作组的结果将汇编成白皮书文件中，参与者将为生物界广泛使用的出版物场所。 50周年研讨会上的所有演讲都将在DLC的YouTube频道上进行记录并公开提供。
