The 2018 Marcus W. Feldman Prize in Theoretical Population Biology.

We are pleased to introduce the Marcus W. Feldman Prize in Theoretical Population Biology, to be awarded biennially to up to two outstanding articles published in Theoretical Population Biology during a two-year period. Each prize includes an award of $500. Contributions to TPB address problems in demography, ecology, epidemiology, evolution, and genetics through a theoretical approach. They are mathematically substantial, requiring significant theoretical insight. Their results are motivated and interpreted in relation to biological phenomena, and they contribute to enhancing biological understanding (see Rosenberg, 2014, 2015). In offering a prize to outstanding articles, we seek to encourage and celebrate excellence in reporting theoretical work in population biology. The prize honors MarcusW. Feldman, co-founder and longtime editor of the journal, and its most prolific contributor of original research throughout its history. Inmanaging Theoretical Population Biology from 1972 to 2012, Marc Feldman has made an extraordinary contribution to supporting mathematical and theoretical research in population biology. His high standards for insightful theoretical work are evident in his many articles in TPB. We have initiated the Feldman Prize on the occasion of Marc Feldman’s 75th birthday in 2017.
