Joining the ranks of Theodosius Dobzhansky, George Gaylord Simpson, et al., Jack Ewel has been elected as an Honorary Fellow of ATBC! This is the highest honor conveyed by the society, and recognizes long, sustained service to tropical biology. Jack served as Director of the U.S. Forest Service’s Institute of Pacific Islands Forestry, but has also worked in tropical forests in Venezuela, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico, and Guatemala. He is an expert in ecological succession in the tropics, including restoration ecology and effects of invasive species. Jack is both a UF Botany graduate alumnus (MS) and emeritus faculty member! Please join me in congratulating Jack on this well-deserved recognition. Jack, you lend us grace.
