by The Rohlf Medal for Excellence in Morphometric Methods and Applications
2025 CALL FOR NOMINATIONS
The Rohlf Medal was established in 2006 by the family and friends of F. James Rohlf to mark his 70th birthday. He has been a longtime Stony Brook University faculty member and is currently Emeritus Distinguished Professor in the Department of Ecology and Evolution, and Research Professor in the Department of Anthropology.
Recipients of the Rohlf Medal will be recognised for excellence in their sustained body of work on the development of new morphometric methods and their applications in the biomedical sciences, including evolutionary biology, population biology, biological anthropology, developmental biology, molecular structure, molecular geometry and medicine.
The term ‘morphometrics’ is intended to include high-dimensional pattern analyses of biological shape, especially those that analyse shape in a comprehensive way, or of covariation of shape with other variables. The award can recognise a body of work that has significantly advanced the field, including: mathematical or statistical theory underlying morphometric methods, software that implements or visualises new methods, or a body of biological findings that rely crucially on contemporary morphometric methods and represent major advances in approach.
