ATBC 2025学生和早期职业奖
摘要
热带生物与保护协会（ATBC）通过在ATBC年度会议上颁发的奖项来表彰学生和早期职业科学家的杰出研究。ATBC很高兴地宣布这些奖项的2025年获奖者：路易斯·f·百加得热带保护进步奖授予在ATBC年会上由早期职业科学家（即在会议日期前不超过5年获得博士学位的研究人员）发表的最佳保护演讲。该奖项成立于2005年，由Lubee蝙蝠保护协会捐赠，这是一家总部位于美国佛罗里达州盖恩斯维尔的国际非营利组织。Lubee Bat Conservancy由已故的Luis F. Bacardi于1989年创立，致力于通过保护以水果和花蜜为食的蝙蝠来保护生物多样性。在2025年的ATBC年会上，来自哥伦比亚罗萨里奥大学（universsidad del Rosario）的Julián León因其题为“无需经验——野生动物害怕人类‘超级捕食者’”的演讲而获得路易斯·f·百加得奖。Alwyn Gentry演讲奖的设立是为了表彰学生在ATBC年会上所做的出色的口头和海报演讲。阿尔文·金特里（Alwyn Gentry, 1945-1993）是一位杰出的植物学家，他对热带植物多样性和保护的研究以及对美洲学生的培训做出了杰出的贡献。这些奖项是为了纪念和表彰这位杰出的科学家、同事、支持他的导师和朋友的贡献。在2025年ATBC年会上，来自美国斯坦福大学的Luisa Genes因其题为“通过营养再野生化评估植物-动物相互作用的恢复”的演讲获得了Alwyn Gentry最佳口头报告奖。Iñaki来自墨西哥瓦哈卡州跨学科中心Investigación para el Desarrollo整体区域的Quintana因其题为“海洋哺乳动物群落和瓦哈卡州沿海水域人为噪音影响的被动声学监测”的演讲获得了Alwyn Gentry奖的最佳海报展示奖。新植物学家信托基金会慷慨地资助年度奖项，以表彰在ATBC年会上发表的学生作者在植物生物学方面的成就。在2025年的年会上，新植物学家植物生物学最佳海报奖被授予了来自国立大学Autónoma de mmacexico， mmacexico的Liliana López-Olmedo，以表彰他们的海报：“热带异质景观中植物分类和系统发育多样性之间的解耦合环境过滤”。来自美国维克森林大学的Ellen Quinlan获得了新植物学家植物生物学最佳口头报告奖，他们的口头报告题为“安第斯山脉海拔梯度上的多样化、基因流动和功能多样性模式”。所有选择在2025年年会上展示他们工作的人都很荣幸，并祝贺这些获奖者对热带生物学和保护做出的杰出贡献。ATBC通过授予种子基金来支持研究生的研究，促进在热带生物学和保护领域工作的学生的专业发展。在麦克斯韦-汉拉汉基金会的慷慨支持下，ATBC在2025年共颁发了17个种子奖。 ATBC很高兴地宣布2025年种子基金的获奖者，他们是：Rukayat Ademola（开普敦大学）题目：“繁殖状态调节城市红翼椋鸟对人类干扰的生理而非行为反应”项目地点：南非andrea beral - rivera（华盛顿大学）题目：“生活在不可预测环境中的蝙蝠的表型可塑性”项目地点：哥伦比亚emma Bretherick（墨西哥国立自治大学生态学研究所）题目：“Yucatán热带干燥森林中氮和磷生物地球化学循环的敏感性：全球变化引起的干旱的生物地球化学响应”项目地点：墨西哥bruno da Silva （Paraíba州立大学）题目：“城市的颜色和歌曲：城市化模式如何影响东北半干旱地区鸟类群落的结构和组成“项目地点：巴西csamar Fuentes Montejo（伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校）标题：“中美洲北部的河流景观连通性”项目地点：BelizeGabriela Garcia Reynaga（迈阿密大学）标题：“炎热世界中的草食：温度如何塑造热带雨林中的植物防御”项目地点：PeruSatyam Gupta （Ashoka大学）标题：“调查印度金背蛙（Hylarana indica）在气候变化下冬季繁殖的原因和后果”项目地点：印度大卫·古铁雷斯·杜克（伯南布哥联邦大学）标题：“安第斯山脉蕨类物种丰富度和地方性的驱动因素”项目地点：哥伦比亚卡洛斯Hernández奥尔塔（班戈大学）标题：“微生物保护：皮肤细菌作为新热带两栖动物致命新发疾病屏障的作用“项目地点：危地马拉杰弗里·曼塞拉（菲律宾马尼拉大学）标题：“在气候变化中，在一个很大的季节性热带森林中检测生殖物候学的变化”项目地点：马来西亚asiddhant Mhetre（弗格森学院（Autonomous），浦那，印度）标题：“在印度农业放弃后热带草原生物多样性的恢复”项目地点：IndiaDiana Molina Ozuna （El Colegio de la Frontera Sur）标题：“生命之线：兰花- euglossini相互作用网络和墨西哥雨林栖息地退化的挑战”项目地点：mxicoantonio Razafindramboa（塔那那利佛大学）标题：“城市苔藓植物作为生物指标：影响物种多样性和群落聚集的因素沿着农村-城市梯度马达加斯加首都”项目地点：Madagascar jos<s:1> Vladimir Rojas Sánchez （UNAM）标题：“Los Tuxtlas生物圈保护区树栖哺乳动物的时空变化对环境异质性的响应”项目地点：墨西哥osona Sebastian （Manipal理工学院，班加罗尔，Manipal高等教育学院，Manipal，印度）标题：“导航混凝土丛林：了解来自热带大城市的两栖动物的物种丰富度，功能和系统发育多样性，班加罗尔，印度”项目地点：我们感谢ATBC资助和奖励委员会的成员，他们在ATBC 2025年年会期间自愿花时间审查种子资助奖的申请，并评估所有奖项的演讲。我们还要感谢在年度会议上评估所有奖项的许多志愿评委。作者声明无利益冲突。The Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation (ATBC) recognizes the exceptional research of students and early career scientists through awards presented at the ATBC Annual Conferences. The ATBC is pleased to announce the 2025 winners of these awards:
The Luis F. Bacardi Award for Advances in Tropical Conservation is awarded to the best conservation talk presented during the ATBC Annual Conference by an early-career scientist (i.e., a researcher who received their Ph.D. no more than 5 years before the meeting date). This award was established in 2005 with an endowment from the Lubee Bat Conservancy, an international non-profit organization based in Gainesville, Florida, USA. The Lubee Bat Conservancy was founded in 1989 by the late Luis F. Bacardi, and is dedicated to protecting biological diversity through the conservation of fruit- and nectar-feeding bats. At the 2025 ATBC Annual Meeting, Julián León from Universidad del Rosario, Colombia, was awarded the Luis F. Bacardi Award for their presentation entitled “No experience necessary—for wildlife to fear the human ‘super predator’”.
The Alwyn Gentry Presentation Awards were established to recognize outstanding oral and poster presentations given by students at the ATBC Annual Conference. Alwyn Gentry (1945–1993) was a prominent botanist who made exceptional contributions to the study of the diversity and conservation of tropical plants and to the training of students from the Americas. These awards are in remembrance and recognition of the contributions of this singular scientist, colleague, supportive mentor, and friend. At the 2025 ATBC Annual Meeting, Luisa Genes from Stanford University, USA, was awarded the Alwyn Gentry Award for the Best Oral Presentation for their talk entitled “Evaluating the restoration of plant-animal interactions through trophic rewilding.” Iñaki Quintana from Centro Interdisciplinario de Investigación para el Desarrollo Integral Regional, Unidad Oaxaca, México, was awarded the Alwyn Gentry Award for the Best Poster Presentation for their presentation entitled “Passive acoustic monitoring of marine mammal communities and anthropogenic noise impact in Oaxaca's coastal waters.”
The New Phytologist Trust graciously funds annual awards to recognize achievements in Plant Biology by student authors presenting at the ATBC Annual Meeting. At the 2025 Annual Meeting, the New Phytologist Prize for Best Poster in Plant Biology was awarded to Liliana López-Olmedo from Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, México, for their poster entitled: “Decoupled environmental filtering between plant taxonomic and phylogenetic diversities in a tropical heterogeneous landscape.” The New Phytologist Prize for Best Oral Presentation in Plant Biology was awarded to Ellen Quinlan from Wake Forest University, USA, for their oral presentation entitled, “Patterns of diversification, gene flow, and functional diversity across an Andes elevation gradient.”
The ATBC is honored by all who chose to present their work at the 2025 Annual Meeting and congratulates these recipients for their outstanding contributions to tropical biology and conservation.
The ATBC promotes the professional development of students working in the areas of tropical biology and conservation by awarding seed grants to support graduate student research.
