Nominations for 2012 Sewall Wright Award
The Sewall Wright Award is given annually and honors a senior but
active investigator who is making fundamental contributions to the
Society’s goals, namely promoting the conceptual unification of the
biological sciences. The award includes an honorarium of $1,000. The
recipient need not be a member of the Society. For the 2012 Sewall
Wright Award, the nomination packet, which must include a letter of
nomination and a curriculum vitae including a publication list,

Nominations for 2012 Edward O. Wilson Naturalist Award
The Edward 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 recipient need
not be a member of the Society. 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 2012 Edward O. Wilson Naturalist Award, a nomination packet that
includes a letter of nomination, a curriculum vitae including a
publication list, and three key publications should be sent by
December 1, 2011, to a...@press.uchicago.edu. Please indicate “E. O.
Wilson Award” in the subject line.
Applications for 2012 Jasper Loftus-Hills Young Investigators’ Award
The Jasper J. Loftus-Hills Young Investigators Award was established
in 1984 to recognize promising, outstanding 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. Jasper Loftus-Hills (1946–1974) was an Australian biologist
of exceptional promise, who had published 16 articles in the three
years after receiving his degree. He was killed by a hit-and-run
driver while tape recording frog calls along a Texas highway. The
recipient need not be a member of the Society. The award includes
presentation of a research paper at the annual meeting of the ASN,
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 2012 award from anyone supporting the
objectives of the Society. Suggested names and addresses of people
who should be encouraged to apply are also welcome. Applications
should 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.
Application materials should be sent via e-mail by December 1, 2011,
to a...@press.uchicago.edu. Please indicate “Young Investigators’
Prize” in the subject line.
Applications for ASN Student Research Award
The ASN announces the first annual Student Research Awards, which
support research by student members that advances the goals of the
society: the conceptual unification of ecology, evolution, or
behavior. The award consists of a $2,000 check to the candidate. An
applicant must be a member of the ASN (membership is international),
must hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent, must have passed to
candidacy in a PhD program or equivalent, and must be at least one
year from completing the PhD. Applicants should send a two-page
proposal (not including references). In addition, applicants should
include a budget with justification (one page), a short curriculum
vitae (two pages), a statement from the PhD supervisor that verifies
that the applicant meets the eligibility requirements, and the
supervisor’s recommendation supporting the research proposed by the
student (one page). Projects in all types of research (i.e.,
laboratory, field, theory) are encouraged. Proposals will be judged
on originality, strength and significance of the questions being
addressed, prospects for significant results, and the match between
the proposed research and the ASN mission. All materials should be
compiled into one PDF file and sent via e-mail to a...@press.uchicago.edu
with “ASN Student Research Award” in the subject line. Deadline for
submission of all materials is January 31, 2012. More information is
available at www.asnamnat.org.
