For more information, see the website at http://www.evolution2007.com/.Applications for the Young Investigators' PrizesThe Young Investigators' Prizes recognize outstanding and promising work by investigators who received their doctorates in the three years preceding the application deadline or who are in their final year of graduate school. The prizes include presentation of a research paper at the annual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists, along with an award of $500, a travel allowance of $700, and a supplement of $500 in case of international travel. The prize committee requests applications for the 2007 prizes from anyone supporting the objectives of the Society. Suggested names and addresses of people who should be encouraged to apply are also welcome. Applications consist of no more than three pages (excluding tables, figures, and references) that summarize the applicant's work, no more than four appropriate reprints, a curriculum vitae, and two letters from individuals familiar with the applicant's work. Four copies of the application materials should be sent by January 31, 2007, to Prize Committee, c/o Dr. Mark D. Bertness, Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island 02912 (e‐mail: [email protected]).Nominations for the Edward O. Wilson Naturalist AwardIn recognition of the lifetime of outstanding contributions of Professor E. O. Wilson in the areas of ecology and evolutionary biology, this award was established in the year of Professor Wilson's retirement from Harvard University. The E. O. Wilson Naturalist Award is given to an active investigator in midcareer who has made significant contributions to the knowledge of a particular ecosystem or group of organisms. Individuals whose research and writing illuminate principles of evolutionary biology and an enhanced aesthetic appreciation of natural history will merit special consideration. The award will consist of an especially appropriate work of art and a prize of $2,000, presented at the annual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists. For the 2007 E. O. Wilson Naturalist Award, three copies of the nomination packet, each of which must include a letter of nomination, curriculum vitae including a publication list, and three key publications, should be sent by March 1, 2007, to the Award Committee, c/o Dr. Nicholas J. Gotelli, Department of Biology, University of Vermont, Marsh Life Science Building, Burlington, Vermont 05405‐2914 (e‐mail: [email protected]).Natural History MiscellanyThe American Naturalist is pleased to announce the revival of the “Natural History Miscellany.” The short observations of behavior and ecology that first appeared in the section—what often is referred to as “natural history”—were a mainstay of the journal for many decades. Natural History Miscellany submissions should be short contributions, preferably note length, that not only enlighten our understanding of the natural history of a species in important ways, but also have significance beyond the biology of the species involved by their relevance to important conceptual issues or understanding of the dimensions of biological diversity. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of the recently lowered cost of color printing and the capabilities of online publication to illustrate manuscripts with online photographs, sound files, videos, and other electronic media.
