awards
Carlos Garcia-Robledo and co-authors were awarded the 2018 Denslow Prize for the paper "Experimental assemblage of novel plant–herbivore interactions: ecological host shifts after 40 million years of isolation” published in Biotropica, for its clarity of presentation, strong basis in natural history, well-planned design, and novel insights gained into critical processes that influence the structure and functioning of tropical biological systems.
Carol Horvitz was awarded the Society of Women Geographers Outstanding Achievement Award at the SWG Triennial in Asilomar, CA in May 2017. This award is bestowed on a member of the Society in recognition of an
outstanding contribution or service of lasting benefit to Science, the Arts, or Humanity.
