Dear Attendees of the 2016 ESA Annual Meeting: The Theoretical Ecology Section of the ESA is proud to announce the sixteenth annual Alfred J. Lotka prize for the best poster and the Vito Volterra prize for the best talk given by students during the ESA annual meeting. The award is open to undergraduate and graduate students who, as sole or first author, present a talk or poster at the 2016 ESA 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. Information on past winners can be found on the theory section website (esa.org/theory).
To be considered for either the Lotka award or the Volterra award, students (or their advisors) must complete the online nomination form at http://goo.gl/forms/LnxrFwtlc90hZHrW2 You will need to provide the session name and number, and the date, time and room number (for oral presentations) so please have this information ready. Please forward this announcement to any students who you know are giving talks or presenting posters on any aspect of theoretical ecology at this year's ESA meeting. Looking forward to seeing you in Baltimore! Annette Ostling Vice-Chair Theoretical Ecology Section of the ESA
