Congratulations to Fredrick Larabee, Dept. of Entomology, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Fredrick competed among a pool of 26 applicants and will use the funds to support a 2 month stay at the Archbold Biological Station in Florida, where he will be doing field experiments on jaw-based propulsion by trap-jaw ants in a comparative context. This mechanism has evolved at least 4 times, and at that site he can collect species that represent several of the independent originations. Congratulations Fredrick!Grand Challenges in Organismal Biology
