The Theoretical Ecology Section awards the Alfred J. Lotka and Vito Volterra prizes for the best presentations given by students during the Annual Meeting of the ESA. The award is open to graduate student members of the ESA who, as sole or first author, present a talk or poster at the ESA annual meeting on original research in theoretical ecology. All suitable approaches that yield theoretical insight to ecological phenomena will be considered.
Prizes will be awarded on the basis of merit, originality, and clarity of presentation.
Sinauer Associates has generously provided the 2001 Award: $100 each for the best poster and best talk, redeemable as books published by Sinauer Associates. To be considered for the Theoretical Ecology Section Award, students must notify the Section by June 30. Prospective candidates should contact: Will Wilson.
