ABS Student Research Grant Awards - 2000/2001

The Animal Behavior Society is pleased to announce the awardees of the 2001 Animal Behavior Society Research Student Grants. As in recent years, the quality of proposed research represented in the 96 proposals was impressive, and like past Research Award chairs, I was encouraged about the future of our field.
