Bartholomew Award for distinguished contributions by a young researcher presented by The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology.

Warner’s integrative research explores the impact of changing environmental factors such as food and temperature on the development, survival and reproduction of brown anole lizards and painted turtles. He will present highlights of his work to members of the prestigious international society at its annual meeting in Austin, Texas, in January 2014.

“There is a lot of competition for this award, so I am very excited,” said Warner, who joined UAB in 2012. “The list of people who have received this before me has some pretty big names, and it’s nice to be included among them.”
