Bartholomew Award<\/a> from the Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology (SICB).&nbsp; This prize is the most significant award for young investigators in this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis was some great news,\u201d said Dakin, professor in the <a href=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/biology\/\">Department of Biology<\/a>. \u201cThis award gives me an opportunity to highlight our research on bird flight and behaviour to the broader scientific community \u2014 it\u2019s hugely exciting and challenging&nbsp;to be featured in the virtual conference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dakin\u2019s lab investigates animal behaviour and how it evolves. One of her current lines of research is on animal flight, a behaviour that is both physiologically challenging and critical for survival. The biology of flight has broad implications because animals can achieve agility that far surpasses what can currently be achieved technologically. The study of flight behaviour can also inform wildlife conservation for many declining aerial birds, bats and insects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Each year, the George A. Bartholomew Award recognizes a young investigator for distinguished contributions to comparative physiology and biochemistry or to related fields of functional and integrative biology. The award offers the awardee the opportunity to communicate this research&nbsp;in a special lecture&nbsp;at this year&#8217;s SICB conference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Media Contact<br>\n<\/strong>Steven Reid<br>\nMedia Relations Officer<br>\nCarleton University<br>\n613-265-6613<br>\n<a href=\"mailto:Steven.Reid3@carleton.ca\">Steven.Reid3@carleton.ca<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow us on Twitter:&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.twitter.com\/Cunewsroom\">www.twitter.com\/Cunewsroom<\/a><br>\nCOVID 19 Updates:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/coronavirus-covid-19\/messages\/\">https:\/\/newsroom.carleton.ca\/coronavirus-covid-19\/messages\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Carleton University\u2019s Roslyn Dakin has been awarded the George A.
