© Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2020
Since in 2017, the Editorial Board of Oecologia has awarded the Ehleringer and Hanski Prizes to the best papers submitted each calendar year and published in Oecologia in the Student Highlighted Research section. This section is reserved for papers that describe research conducted as part of a student’s thesis or dissertation during undergraduate or graduate studies. Post-doctoral research is not eligible for this honor. Each year a committee constituted from the editorial board of Oecologia reviews all eligible papers and selects one for each award. The awards consist of a monetary prize and a highlighted profile of the paper and author published in one issue of the journal. For papers submitted in 2019, the prize is $500US. The papers are available for free access from the Oecologia website for a two-month period following the announcement. We are proud to name the best paper annually in plant ecology and plant–microbe–animal interactions to honor Professor James Ehleringer. Professor Ehleringer has served as an editor with Oecologia since 1982, and served as Editor-in-Chief between 1989 and 2006. His research expertise in stable isotope ecology and his dedication to international collaborations and promotion of graduate student and postdoctoral studies in this area helped establish Oecologia as one of the premier journals representing this discipline. He is an elected Fellow of the Ecological Society of America, the American Geophysical Union, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the US National Academy of Sciences. We are proud to name the best student paper annually in all areas of animal ecology to honor the late Professor Ilkka Hanski (1953–2016). Professor Hanski had diverse interests in ecological questions on threats and maintenance of
biodiversity starting from dung beetle communities to forest biodiversity and island biogeography. Prof. Hanski’s 1999 book, Metapopulation Ecology, became a cornerstone for researchers in population biology, conservation biology and landscape ecology. Among many honors, Prof. Hanski was awarded ecology’s Nobel Prize, the Crafoord Prize in Biosciences in 2011. Training students, discussing ideas and commenting manuscripts of young scientists his top priority. He served on the Oecologia editorial board in 1991–2007. This award covers papers in the areas of animal ecology, including topics in animal ecophysiology, animal food-web and interaction-web ecology, animal population and community ecology, and invasive animal ecology. Graduate student’s wishing to have their papers considered for these awards need only to request consideration for the Highlighted Student Paper section.
