Contact Information Available for logged-in reporters only Newswise Linda and Nick Holland, marine biologists based at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego since 1987 and 1966, respectively, have been selected to receive one of the worlds most prestigious awards in the field of evolutionary biology. In March the husband-and-wife scientists will be awarded the Alexander Kowalevsky Medal by the 147-year-old Saint Petersburg Society of Naturalists (SPSN) in Russia. The Kowalevsky Medal was first established in the 1910s, but due to many circumstances, including World War I and the Russian Revolution, the award was not given and sat dormant for nearly a century. SPSN resurrected the medal in 2001 and now bestows the award annually for distinguished achievements in evolutionary developmental biology and comparative zoology. In addition to receiving the Kowalevsky Medal, Linda and Nick will be elected honorary SPSN members, receive an SPSN diploma, and present lectures during their March 13-17 trip to St. Petersburg. The Hollands are being recognized for advancing and modernizing the science of amphioxus, a small, worm-like marine animal also known as a lancelet. Amphioxus appears fish-like, with a small tail fin and medial fins, and spends most of its time burrowed in sand … Continue reading
