David W. Snow (1924-2009) Award

In 2005, the committee chose the David W. Snow Award in recognition of the immensely important contribution the late David Snow has made to the field of Frugivores and Seed Dispersal, especially  among Manakins and Melastom plants.

In the first Updates after the FSD2005  symposium, Ronda Green wrote "I sent a book of abstracts to Dr David Snow, who happily agreed last year to our request to use his name for the first prize for an oral student presentation.  He seemed delighted to receive the abstracts, and responded in part: " I am amazed at how the subject has been so enthusiastically carried forward since our early and one might say primitive days' ".

Eligibility. - All individuals who have been students within the last three years (2008, 2009 & 2010) are eligible, including those who have completed the Ph.D. within that period. The work must have been done by the student as the senior author on the paper. Two or more students may present a joint paper and would then split the award

Award Criteria. - originality of study - contribution of the study to science - breadth of the study - quality of the research design and execution of the data analysis - quality of the presentation, including audio-visual materials.

The Committee reserves the right to make no award if it deems that no deserving paper has been presented or if fewer than five eligible papers are presented. All students who wish to be considered for the David W. Snow Award must indicate so on their registration forms.

If you want to be considered for the 2010 David W. Snow Award, complete the registration form, and email your scanned student ID and/or certificate of Dissertation (Master and/or Doctorate) defense to fsd2010 -at- yahoo.fr
