Previous Winners

Year:	Recipient:	Title of Project:
2010	Amanda Kissel Simon Fraser University	A field-based population study of the highly-endangered Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa), with a population dynamics model to identify the most sensitive life history stages and evaluate a range of potential recovery strategies. This work will directly inform decisions of how to best allocate limited recovery funds for this species in Canada, and may provide a useful framework for declining amphibians more broadly.
