As a group, the members of the Selection Committee were particularly impressed with the Beckwith and Baldez team's vision, attention to disciplinary coverage, and grounding in the international gender and politics network beyond the United States. The submission was also notable for its commitment to the mentoring of junior scholars in the profession, and for its willingness to encourage debate in the field. As reflected in the cv's of each member of the team, the Beckwith and Baldez submission was also outstanding because of its firm base in the APSA women's caucus and, of course, the Women and Politics Research Section. Finally, we were impressed with the plans outlined in this editorial team proposal to pursue an electronic submissions process.
Tropical rainforests in far north Queensland cover less than 0.2% of Australia's land surface, but they contain two thirds of the country's butterfly species, half of the bird species and a third of the mammal species. Australia's lowland tropical rainforests contain incredible species diversity, much of which resides in the forest canopy. A research canopy crane is being erected in the Daintree lowland tropical rainforest near Cape Tribulation to enable researchers to conduct research on, and facilitate a more detailed understanding of, the flora and fauna of lowland rainforest canopies. Australia's tropical rainforests are threatened due to resource extraction, human encroachment and natural di- sasters. Placing a research crane in this type of forest will provide the opportunity to gather critical information on this threatened ecosystem.This canopy crane will be made acces- sible to researchers around the world who are interested in studying the biodiversity of flora and fauna, canopy micro- climate, forest processes, epiphytes, plant physiology, verte- brates, and invertebrates. It is critical that information about the lowland tropical rainforest be studied to promote healthy forest management and encourage the recovery of forests which have been previously affected by logging, feral pigs, and cyclones. The Liebherr Tower-Crane is of the same type as those in forest canopies of Panama, Venezuela, and Washington State, USA. The crane tower is 50 m tall with an arm jib that extends to 55 m. Attached to the jib of the crane is a gondola (personnel basket) capable of holding up to three researchers
