Awards


Marsh Ecology Award

The Marsh Ecology Award is run in association with the British Ecological Society to recognise outstanding achievements and contributions to the science of ecology. The Award has been awarded annually since 1996.


The 2009 winner is Professor Mike Begon

Mike is Professor of Ecology and Deputy Head of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Liverpool. Of his many leading contributions to ecology, Mike has co-authored three ground breaking and fundamentally important text books, Ecology, Essentials of Ecology and Population Ecology. These books are written with authority and are a must, being found on all ecologist’s book shelves. Ecology has won the Marsh Book Prize and is arguably the greatest ecological text for undergraduates ever written. It is through Mike’s world leading contribution to our science through advancing our knowledge of population dynamics, density dependence and host-pathogen dynamics that we are proud to award Mike the Marsh prize for Ecology.
