Dr. Peter Hosner, post-doc in the Kimball Lab, received the 2016 Young Professional Award from the Cooper Ornithological Society presented at the North American Ornithological Conference. This award recognizes early-career researchers for their outstanding contributions to ornithology. Pete studies how geographical, environmental, and ecological factors limit avian distributions and how these factors influence patterns of diversification. Pete also received the Edwards Prize for the best paper published in the Wilson Journal of Ornithology in 2015. Pete is now off to a new position with the School for Field Studies in Bhutan where he will be a Lecturer in mountain ecology. Great work, Pete!
