The MUVE Student Recognition Awards recognize MUVE student members who have demonstrated excellence in the Medical, Urban and Veterinary Entomology.
This award recognizes outstanding research by individuals who have recently completed a master's thesis in arthropod morphology, systematics, taxonomy, or evolution.
This award recognizes an early professional member of the MUVE section of ESA who has demonstrated excellence in research, extension, teaching and/or outreach.
These awards support research in these areas with emphasis on non-taxonomic studies. Such studies could include natural history, morphology, behavior, conservation, paleobiology, biochemistry, physiology, and related areas.
This award encourages MUVE student members to attend the annual meeting to promote interest in entomology and help connect new attendees to current members.
The Plant-Insect Ecosystems (P-IE) Section of the Entomological Society of America (ESA) seeks to recognize outstanding early career professional members as part of an initiative to foster the next generation of entomologists. The section plans to grant 1 recognition award of $1000 to an early career professional who has made an exceptional impact in research, education, and/or outreach/extension in the field of P-IE.
