The American Ornithological Society (AOS) is excited to announce a Call for Papers for the current cycle of the Wesley Lanyon Award, a publication award for the best review paper authored by an early-career researcher. The 2027 Wesley Lanyon Award will be selected from eligible review papers published in 2025 or 2026. It will provide a $1,500 honorarium to the winner, a $1,000 travel stipend, and free registration to attend the 2027 AOS Annual Meeting, for which the winner may organize a symposium on their winning review topic.
Early-career AOS members are eligible for this award if they are doctoral students or within three years of earning the Ph.D. at the time that the article is submitted (an extra year of eligibility may be granted for parental or medical leave). Review papers may be published in Ornithology or Ornithological Applications. To submit a pre-submission inquiry or for more information, e-mail Christie Riehl (Ornithology; criehl@americanornithology.org) or Judit Szabo (Ornithological Applications; jszabo@americanornithology.org).
