Wilson Naturalist AwardIn recognition of the lifetime of outstanding contributions of Professor E. O. Wilson in the areas of ecology and evolutionary biology, including the study of social insects, biodiversity, and biophilia, 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 2008 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, 2008, to the Award Committee, c/o Robert W. Sterner, Director, Division of Environmental Biology, National Science Foundation, 4201 Wilson Boulevard, Arlington, Virginia 22230 (phone: 703‐292‐8480; e‐mail: [email protected]).
