Attendees will view presentations from each finalist during the session and will also have the ability to submit questions to each presenter. Awardees will be announced during the conference closing remarks. This symposium features outstanding graduate student research, with an award for the best paper, and is a highlight of ABS meetings. The session honors Dr. Warder Clyde Allee (1885�1955), an animal behavior researcher who was very influential in the development and direction of animal behavior research in the 20th century. He was elected to the National Academy of Sciences in 1951 and ranks among the leading twentieth century ecologists, especially for his work in behavioral and animal ecology. In the 202020 ABS Allee Session, students will present their research to ABS members and talk judges: Juan Carlos Reboreda, Julia Salz , Chris Schell, Robin Tinghitella, Jenny Tung.
