Michener Receives Fulbright Grant
Dr. Charles D. Michener, chairman of the entomology department, is the first professor to receive a Fulbright Fellowship for the 1958-59 year.
Dr. Michener will receive a research fellowship to the University of Queensland at Brisbane, Australia. He will apply for a sabbatical leave next year.
He is studying the origin and evolution of caste behavior among certain bees. Dr. Michener spent the 1955-56 year in Brazil on this project, which is being supported in part by $32,000 in grants from the National Science Foundation, and he will continue the investigation in Australia.
Dr. Michener chose the University of Queensland because it is in northern Australia with a moderate climate the year around permitting continuous insect activity, and it has a natural history reservation silimar to the one at KU.
