The American Society of Mammalogists is now accepting nominations for the C. Hart Merriam Award. The
C. Hart Merriam Award is given to eminent scholars in recognition of outstanding research in mammalogy over a period of at least 10 years.
C. Hart Merriam was the first chief of the Division of Economic
Ornithology and Mammalogy of the United States
Department of Agriculture, and a founding member of the American
Ornithologists' Union, the National Geographic Society, and the American
Society of Mammalogists. Among other contributions, he developed the
concept of "life zones" to classify biomes found
in North America. Nominations for the Merriam Award will be considered without regard to national citizenship or activity in the ASM. Persons
interested in nominating someone for the Merriam Award should send a
single letter of nomination and a copy of the nominee’s CV via email to
Felisa Smith (fasmith@unm.edu) by
10 February 2013.
