Awards Entomological Society of Canada Gold Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Canadian Entomology 2008 presented to BERNARD D. ROITBERG at Ottawa, Ontario, 19 October 2008 Médaille d or de la Société d entomologie du Canada pour souligner la contribution exceptionelle en entomologie canadienne 2008 présenté à BERNARD D. ROITBERG à Ottawa, Ontario, 19 octobre 2008 JAM2008 16
The 2008 recipient of the Entomological Society of Canada s Gold Medal for Outstanding Achievement in Canadian entomology is Dr. Bernard Roitberg. This award is presented in recognition of his extensive and innovative work on behavioural ecology and his service to the Entomological Society of Canada. Bernie Roitberg did his undergraduate training at Simon Fraser University, where he learned the basics of entomology from John Borden (ESC Gold Medal 1988), Thelma Finlayson and others of the Belleville alumnus. He completed a M.Sc. in 1977 from the Department of Zoology and the Institute of Animal Resource Ecology at the University of British Columbia under the guidance of Judy Myers (ESC Gold Medal 2004). He went on to do his Ph.D. in the Department of Entomology at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, with Ron Prokopy. Since 1982, Bernie has been a member of the Department of Biological Sciences at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, British Columbia and is currently a full professor. Over his 30-year career as an ecologist and entomologist, Bernie has made extensive advances in our knowledge of the behavior, behavioral ecology and evolution of insects and their natural enemies. He has been fascinated by the behaviors of insects surrounding prey choice and the complementary prey defenses. He has worked on a diverse range of insects, with an emphasis on the rhagoletid fruit flies, aphids and their parasitoids and more recently on anopheline mosquitoes. With these and other experimental systems, combined with mathematical modeling, Bernie has developed and demonstrated many novel ideas that do much to advance our understanding of insects. These novel ideas have made applied contributions to the IPM, and biological control of insects. Some examples of these follow. 1. His studies on the behavioral ecology of a malaria vector, Anopheles gambiae, focused on aspects of resource location generally disregarded in studies of mosquitoes and malaria. Bernie and his graduate students linked human host location with the behaviors and trade-offs associated with the mosquitoes filling other resource needs, such as nectar for flight energy and oviposition sites, with strategies used by the mosquito for evading attack. A model has been developed that places these foraging behaviors in the context of payoffs for malaria mitigation strategies such as house spraying and bed nets. 2. The role of alarm pheromones in the biology and ecology of aphids has been a recurring theme in Bernie s lab. This has led to a greater understanding of the role of disturbance in fitness, and pest management of aphids. A paper on adaptive suicide in aphids laid the foundations for an understanding of the evolution of altruistic behaviors in colonial organisms. 3. Bernie and collaborators Thomas Hoffmeister and the late Ronald Prokopy have been leaders in development of theory and experiments on oviposition pheromones and mate finding in tephritid fruit flies. This work has led to the development of control practices for insects such as apple maggots. 4. Bernie and collaborators have also developed theory and carried out experiments on state and frequency dependent games to show how game theory is necessary to understand a variety of phenomena from decay rates in marking pheromones to aggregation of resources to siblicide. 5. Through experiments on theory related to the impact of behavior on predator-prey dynamics in agricultural settings, Bernie and collaborators have been able to explain conditions under which host discrimination is likely to impact host population dynamics. This work has led to a demonstration of how phenotypic plasticity can be exploited by biocontrol practitioners During his career Bernie has been an author or co-author on over 137 peer reviewed papers, chapters and other contributions. He has mentored 21 Masters of Pest Management students, 13 MSc's, 8 PhD's and 7 postdoctoral fellows. Eighteen of his former students and post docs hold faculty positions in Canada, the USA and Israel. In addition he has inspired countless undergraduates in biology, ecology and pest management, and has been unstinting in his interactions with his many friends, colleagues and collaborators. Bernie has served as a member and chair of the NSERC ecology and evolution grants committee. Despite his busy laboratory and teaching load found time to serve the ESC first as a Director (1988 1991) and then as president of the Society (2001 2002). Also he served as president of the Entomological Society of British Columbia (1986 1987). He has been on the editorial board of The Canadian Entomologist and American Naturalist. He is an honorary scientist with the Korean Rural Development Agency, and a recipient of the Entomological Society of Canada s Hewitt award. His numerous invitations to present seminars and keynote addresses give evidence that Bernie is truly one of Canada s international science stars. Bernie s outstanding scientific achievements in the area of insect population and behavioral ecology, as well as his service to the ESC, makes him a most worthy recipient of the 2008 ESC Gold Medal.

Le récipiendaire de la Médaille d or de la Société d entomologie du Canada de 2008, pour contribution exceptionnelle à l entomologie canadienne, est le Dr. Bernard Roitberg. Ce prix est attribué en reconnaissance de son travail exhaustif et innovateur en écologie comportementale et pour son service à la Société d entomologie du Canada. Bernie Roitberg a reçu sa formation de premier cycle à l Université Simon Fraser, où il a appris les bases de l entomologie par John Borden (Médaille d or de la SEC 1988), Thelma Finlayson et les autres alumni de Belleville. Il a complété sa maîtrise en 1977 au département de zoologie et au Institute of Animal Resource Ecology de l Université de la Colombie-Britannique sous la supervision de Judy Myers (Médaille d or de la SEC 2004). Il a fait son doctorat au département d entomologie de l Université du Massachussetts, Amherst, avec Ron Prokopy. Depuis 1982, Bernie est un membre du département des sciences biologiques de l Université Simon Fraser à Burnaby, Colombie-Britannique, où il est présentement professeur. Durant ses 30 années de carrière en tant qu écologiste et entomologiste, Bernie a fait des progrès notables sur notre connaissance du comportement, de l écologie comportementale et de l évolution des insectes et de leurs ennemis naturels. Il est fasciné par les comportements des insectes concernant les choix des proies et les défenses complémentaires des proies. Il a travaillé sur différents insectes, avec une emphase sur les mouches à fruits du genre Rhagoletis, les pucerons et leurs parasitoïdes ainsi que, plus récemment, sur les moustiques anophèles. Avec ces espèces et d autres systèmes expérimentaux, combinés avec des modèles mathématiques, Bernie a développé et démontré de nombreuses idées nouvelles qui ont contribué à notre avancement de la compréhension des insectes. Ces idées nouvelles ont apportées des contributions appliquées à la lutte intégrée et au contrôle biologique des insectes. Voici quelques exemples. 6. Ses études sur l écologie comportementales du vecteur de la malaria, Anopheles gambiae, se sont concentrées sur des aspects de localisation des ressources, généralement ignorés dans les études sur les moustiques et la malaria. Bernie et ses étudiants gradués ont relié la localisation des hôtes humains ainsi que les comportements et les compromis associés avec d autres besoins des moustiques, tels que le nectar pour l énergie du vol et les sites de pontes, avec les stratégies utilisées par le moustique pour éviter les attaques. Un modèle plaçant ces comportements d exploitation dans le contexte des coûts/bénéfices pour les stratégies de mitigation de la malaria, telle que l arrosage des maisons et les filets pour lits, a été développé. 7. Le rôle des phéromones d alarme pour la biologie et l écologie des pucerons est un thème récurrent dans le labo de Bernie. Ceci a mené à une meilleure compréhension du rôle du dérangement pour la valeur adaptative, et la gestion des pucerons. Un article sur le suicide adaptatif chez les pucerons a bâti les fondations pour une compréhension de l évolution des comportements altruistes chez les organismes coloniaux. 8. Bernie et ses collaborateurs, Thomas Hoffmeister et le regretté Ronald Prokopy ont été des meneurs dans le développement de théories et d expériences sur les phéromones de pontes et la recherche de partenaires chez les mouches à fruits tephritides. Ce travail a mené au développement de pratiques de contrôle pour les insectes tels que les mouches de la pomme. 9. Bernie et ses collaborateurs ont également développé une théorie et mené des expériences sur les jeux dépendants de l état et de la fréquence afin de montrer comment la théorie des jeux est nécessaire afin de comprendre une variété de phénomènes, du taux de dégradation des phéromones de marquage sur les ressources d agrégation au fratricide. 10. Par des expériences sur la théorie reliée à l impact du comportement sur les dynamiques prédateurs-proies en milieu agricultural, Bernie et ses collaborateurs ont su expliquer les conditions sous lesquelles la discrimination des hôtes a probablement un impact sur la dynamique de population de l hôte. Ce travail a mené à une démonstration de comment la plasticité phénotypique peut être exploitée par les utilisateurs du contrôle biologique. Durant sa carrière, Bernie a été auteur et co-auteur de plus de 137 articles révisés par des pairs, chapitres et autres contributions. Il a dirigé 21 étudiants à la maîtrise en gestion des ravageurs, 13 maîtrises, 8 doctorats et 7 postdoctorats. Dixhuit de ses anciens étudiants et postdocs occupent des postes au Canada, aux É.-U. et en Israël. De plus, il a inspiré un nombre incalculable d étudiants de premier cycle en biologie, écologie et gestion des ravageurs, et a été généreux dans ses interactions avec ses nombreux amis, collègues et collaborateurs. Bernie a servi en tant que membre et président du comité des subventions en écologie et évolution au CRNSG. Malgré son laboratoire bien occupé et sa charge d enseignement, il a trouvé du temps pour servir la SEC d abord en tant que directeur (1988-1991), puis en tant que président de la Société (2001-2002). Il a également été président de la Société d entomologie de Colombie-Britannique (1986-1987). Il a été sur le comité éditorial de The Canadian Entomologist et American Naturalist. Il est un scientifique honoraire à l agence de développement rural coréenne, et récipiendaire du prix Hewitt de la Société d entomologie du Canada. Ses nombreuses invitations à présenter des séminaires et des conférences mettent en évidence le fait que Bernie est réellement une des stars internationales de la science au Canada. Les contributions scientifiques exceptionnelles de Bernie dans le domaine des populations d insectes et de l écologie comportementale, ainsi que ses services pour la SEC, font de lui un récipiendaire des plus méritants pour la Médaille d or de la SEC.

Norman Criddle Award Recipient 2008 The Entomological Society of Canada s Norman Criddle Award recognizes the contribution of an outstanding non-professional entomologist to the furtherance of entomology in Canada. The award may be given for outstanding work in teaching or research, community projects, publicity, popular writing, preparation of slide sets or films, or any other activity than enhances the visibility of entomology. The recipient is selected by the affiliate society that hosts the annual meeting of the Entomological Society of Canada. This year the award goes to Jay Cossey. For as long as he can remember, Jay has been obsessed with insects he chased butterflies as soon as he could walk and devoured every field guide, bug book and magazine article he could find. No opportunity to be in the field was squandered. As a teenager, Jay turned toward photographing insects, a passion that continues to this day. Without university training Jay has become a knowledgeable naturalist, a true amateur entomologist and an accomplished nature photographer. His photographs were mostly languishing in file cabinets until, at the insistence of a colleague, he launched his first web gallery in 1999: www.photographsfromnature.com Jay's photographs have been published in numerous field guides, textbooks and periodicals including: 2004 National Geographic Butterfly Calendar, 2004 and 2005 Lupus Canada Butterfly Calendars, The Butterflies of Canada, Audubon Society Pocket Guide to Insects and Spiders, Kaufman Focus Guide to Butterflies, Kaufman Focus Guide to Insects, National Wildlife Federation Guide to Insects, Butterflies of Ohio, Butterflies of Michigan, Butterflies of the White Mountains of New Hampshire (Audubon). Most recently, Jay contributed dozens of photographs and served as photo editor for the Dragonflies and Damselflies of Northeast Ohio, 2nd Edition (2008), for the Natural Areas Division of the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. In 2008, after many years as a commercial photographer and graphic designer, Jay Cossey was given an opportunity to pursue his true passion full time. In February 2008 he joined the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario in Guelph as nature photographer and graphic designer. For more information about Jay, please check this article: http://www.uoguelph.ca/atguelph/08-10-08/profile.shtml Photo credits: Martin Schwalbe During the summer of 2008, Jay led an expedition to collect invertebrates in Canada's National Parks in "BIObus", the Biodiversity Institute of Ontario's mobile lab/field vehicle. Jay has kindly let us use some of his spectacular photographs for the inside back cover page. JAM2008 20
Gagnant du Prix Norman Criddle 2008 Le prix Norman Criddle de la Société d'entomologie du Canada souligne la contribution d'un entomologiste amateur remarquable en entomologie au Canada. Ce prix peut être accordé pour un apport exceptionnel en enseignement ou en recherche, pour des projets communautaires, en publicité, pour des ouvrages de vulgarisation, pour la préparation de diapositives ou de films, ou pour n'importe quelle autre activité qui met en valeur l'entomologie. Le donataire est sélectionné par la société affiliée qui organise la réunion annuelle de la Société d'entomologie du Canada. Cette année le prix est décerné à Jay Cossey. D'aussi loin qu'il puisse se souvenir, Jay a été obsédé par les insectes - il chassa les papillons aussitôt qu'il pût courir et dévora chaque guide de terrain, livre de bibittes et article de revue qu'il pouvait trouver. Il ne manqua aucune occasion d'être sur le terrain. En tant qu'adolescent, Jay se tourna ver la photographie des insectes, une passion qui continue à ce jour. Sans formation universitaire, Jay est devenu un naturaliste averti, un véritable entomologiste amateur et un photographe accompli. Ses photographies dépérissaient dans des classeurs jusqu'à ce qu'il lanca, sous l'insistance d'un collègue, sa première galerie web en 1999 : www.photographsfromnature.com Les photographies de Jay ont été publiées dans de nombreux guides de terrain, manuels et revues y compris : National Geographic Butterfly Calendar, Lupus Canada Butterfly Calendars (de 2004 et 2005), The Butterflies of Canada, Audubon Society Pocket Guide to Insects and Spiders, Kaufman Focus Guide to Butterflies, Butterflies of Michigan, Butterflies of the White Mountains of New Hampshire (Audubon). Tout dernièrement, Jay a produit des douzaines de photographies et a servi comme rédacteur de photos pour la 2ème édition (2008) de Dragonflies and Damselflies of Northeast Ohio, pour la division des aires naturelles du Cleveland Museum of Natural History. En 2008, après un grand nombre d'années comme photographe commercial et concepteur graphique, Jay Cossey a eu l'opportunité reçu l'occasion de poursuivre sa véritable passion à plein temps. En février 2008, il se joint au Biodiversity Institute of Ontario à Guelph comme photographe de la nature et concepteur graphique. Pour plus de renseignements sur Jay, veuillez consulter cet article: http://www.uoguelph.ca/atguelph/08-10-08/profile/shtml Photos : Martin Schwalbe Jay nous a gentiment permis d'utiliser quelques unes de ses photographies spectaculaires pour la face intérieure du plat verso.
