Wildlife Publication Awards

The Society's Wildlife Publication Awards originated in 1940 with a proposal in the Committee on Professional Standards report. The first citation was made the next year for "The great horned owl and its prey in north-central United States," by Paul Errington and the Hamerstroms. For some years, this award was given for works in "wildlife ecology and management," and it was limited to members of The Wildlife Society.

Through the years the Wildlife Publication Awards program has broadened considerably and become more thorough in coverage. Candidate materials are found in the entire scientific literature of wildlife biology and management, primarily technical journal articles, monographs, bulletins, books, and edited works. Diverse subject disciplines are eligible for consideration. However, the Committee will not consider fishery publications, since these are the prerogative of the American Fisheries Society.

Criteria

As commonly used, the term "wildlife" applies principally to vertebrate animals. Members of the Society are strongly oriented to the values of wildlife to people. Hence we are concerned with management and maintenance of wildlife populations within the natural environment. Committees will be interested in, but not limited to, works applying to problems of husbandry and conservation.

Ordinarily, purely taxonomic, anatomical, physiological, and similar treatments do not qualify. However, a Committee may decide, for example, that a paper on the effects of radioactive fallout on hummingbirds is within its purview. This would be most likely if such a publication helped to explain basic phenomena common to many species of wildlife.

Works recognized by this award of excellence are scientific writing characterized by originality of research or thought and a high scholastic standard in the manner of presentation. Publications reviewed will be research or management oriented. This would not ordinarily encompass text books, compilations, bulletins, or purely popular writings. These, in addition to outstanding philosophical or interpretive contributions, should be reviewed and appraised triennially by the Conservation Education Award Committee.

Currently, four categories of publications are eligible for awards: article, monograph, book, and editorship. Only publications issued within the last three years are eligible for consideration.

Multiple-authored works are eligible on the same basis as single or dual authorships. All candidate works must be published in a standard outlet or format that makes them generally and permanently available or recoverable in the scientific literature of the world. Mimeographed or processed materials or unpublished theses do not qualify as publications for purposes of this award.

For the article category award, only a discrete individual paper is eligible. A series of papers or companion articles are not eligible for the article award.

Nomination Instructions

Works published in 2010, 2011, and 2012 are eligible. To submit a nomination, send a cover letter explaining why the work deserves an award along with a copy of the publication to each Committee member by March 1, 2013:
