Allee Award

One of the highlights of the annual ABS meetings is the Allee Competition for the best student paper presentation. The student paper competition has been named in honor of Dr. Warder Clyde Allee an early animal behavior researcher who was very influential in the development and direction of animal behavior research in this century. In the Allee competition, 12 to 15 of the outstanding animal behavior students from around the country present the results of their research in a special Allee session at the meetings. Because the talks are often an introduction to the most promising young researchers studying animal behavior, the presentations are well attended and widely discussed.
