As a fresh graduate student, we may have to look for a postdoctoral position so as to continue our research of interest. Before getting a position, we may need prepare a research plan stating what we are going to do for the group. Below is a link that would help: writing a research plan. http://sciencecareers.sciencemag.org/career_magazine/previous_issues/articles/2002_07_26/noDOI.4611149009600202486
全球生物多样性保护的100个关键问题 One Hundred Questions of Importance to the Conservation of Global Biological Diversity 由21个国际组织、12个学术机构参加，从2291个与全球生物多样性保育相关的问题中遴选出了100个关键科学问题。这100个科学问题如果得到破解，将对全球生物多样性的保育行动规划和政策制定产生深远影响。任何从事生物多样性、生态学及宏观生物学领域的科技工作者都值得关注这一重要文献。 PS: 希望环境科学与生态修复研究所的研究生同学通读该文献，在相关研究中注意本文所反映出来的学科动态。 Abstract: We identified 100 scientific questions that, if answered, would have the greatest impact on conservation practice and policy. Representatives from 21 international organizations, regional sections and working groups of the Society for Conservation Biology, and 12 academics, from all continents except Antarctica, compiled 2291 questions of relevance to conservation of biological diversity worldwide. The questions were gathered from 761 individuals through workshops, email requests, and discussions. Voting by email to short-list questions, followed by a 2-day workshop, was used to derive the final list of 100 questions. Most of the final questions were derived through a process of modification and combination as the workshop progressed. The questions are divided into 12 sections: ecosystem functions and services, climate change, technological change, protected areas, ecosystem management and restoration, terrestrial ecosystems, marine ecosystems, freshwater ecosystems, species management, organizational systems and processes, societal context and change, and impacts of conservation interventions. We anticipate that these questions will help identify new directions for researchers and assist funders in directing funds.
