The prizes include presentation of a research paper at the annual meeting of the American Society of Naturalists, reimbursement for travel to the annual meeting, and a $500 honorarium. The prize committee requests applications for the 2006 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.

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 2006 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, 2006, to the Award Committee, c/o Douglas W Schemske, Michigan State University, Department of Plant Biology, 166 Plant Biology Building, East Lansing, Michigan 48824‐1312 (e‐mail: [email protected]).SynthesesIn keeping with its mission to support “the conceptual unification of the biological sciences,” the American Naturalist invites submission of “syntheses.” Syntheses will analyze and synthesize recent findings in the biological sciences that are of interest to the broad readership of the journal. These articles should review recent work, but more important, they should present new and synthetic perspectives of those results. Before writing the synthesis, potential authors should contact the editors via the journal office with a proposal for the article, including a detailed outline and a statement of the novel goals and perspective of the article. Authors of successful proposals will be invited to submit their syntheses, which will then go through the same peer review process as other submissions to the journal.
