Long Citation Stan Boutin's studies on red squirrels at Kluane, Yukon provided the first evidence of evolution of a natural population in response to climate change, and the first basis to understand the impact of the mother's environment on evolutionary change. His pioneering studies on the lynx-snowshoe hare cycles at Kluane have shown that food supply and predation have multiplicative effects on populations. Through collaboration with the forestry industry, Boutin has pioneered a new paradigm in forestry management, based on the guiding principles of natural disturbance and succession. Dr. Stan Boutin is the world leader on the ecology of Canada's northern forests. Short Citation Stan Boutin is the world leader on the ecology of Canada's northern forests.

Long Citation Vit Bubenik is a master of several Humanities disciplines: Classics, Indology, Slavic, Semitic, Medieval Studies, Comparative and Historical Linguistics, who has added a new dimension to such studies. His monographs The Phonological Interpretation of Ancient Greek and Hellenistic and Roman Greek as a Sociolinguistic Area present new sociolinguistic insights to the study of ancient languages, based on the extensive corpora of Ancient Greek inscriptions, product of the massive archaeological work of the 19th and 20th centuries. He has established that linguistic idiosyncrasies recorded on long-buried stones can yield important new information on life and languages of the past.

Notice académique longue Outre son enseignement sur 1'histoire de la France contemporaine au département d'histoire de 1'Universite du Québec à Montréal, Yolande Cohen a contribué à développer 1'histoire des femmes au Québec et au Canada comme sujet d'enseignement et de recherche. Chercheuse de renommée internationale, ses travaux sur 1'histoire des identités sociales en Occident ont ouvert un nouveau champ en histoire politique. Son histoire des jeunes en France est aujourd'hui une référence incontournable pour tous ceux qui veulent comprendre la genèse des conflits entre les générations au XXe siècle. Repérant la marginalisation précoce des jeunes dans la vie politique, elle entreprend de mettre en lumière les multiples résistances et revendications avancées par leurs regroupements. Elle en déduit une perspective dynamique d'analyse qu'elle appliquera à l'étude des femmes, exclues également de la vie politique. Ses travaux sur l'histoire des femmes au Québec lui ont permis de mettre à jour les processus par lesquels les femmes ont participé à la modernisation et à la laïcisation du Québec bien avant la révolution tranquille (professionnalisation, socialisation des savoirs et établissement d'un nouveau système de compétences et d'expertise). Ses deux principales monographies consacrées à 1'histoire des Cercles de fermières et aux infirmières concluent à l'influence déterminante de leurs associations volontaires et professionnelles dans la transformation de leur statut. Elle travaille actuellement à une vaste enquête comparative sur le rôle des associations philanthropiques dans la démocratisation des sociétés (Canada-France), sous le titre de Femmes et démocratie (dont plusieurs articles sont déjà parus dans des revues scientifiques).

Long Citation Gary Crawford is a leader in the investigation of human-plant interaction in prehistory. Among his discoveries he demonstrated that the Ainu of Northern Japan were farmers, not hunter-gatherers as was presumed for well over a century, thereby also impacting views on Japanese origins. Crawford also led a team that discovered how and when agriculture developed in pre-contact Ontario. Most recently, he is the first to document the nature and timing of the development of North Chinese agriculture that early in its history relied on millets, legumes, rice and wheat. He has coauthored two general anthropology texts and developed and hosted an archaeology series for TVOntario.

Notice académique longue André Berger est une sommité de la paléoclimatologie dont 1'oeuvre a fortement marqué l’évolution des recherches au plan international. Ses travaux sur les paramètres orbitaux de la Terre au cours des millions d'années du passé servent maintenant de fondation à la reconstruction du paléoclimat et de sa simulation à 1'aide de modèles climatiques. Il fut également un pionnier dans l'élaboration de modèles climatiques dits de complexité intermédiaire qui se sont avérés de puissants outils de recherche. En 1996 sa Majesté Albert II, Roi de Belgique, lui conféra le titre de Chevalier. En 2004 il fut nommé Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur de la République française.
