Ashton, the Harvard ecologist who won the prestigious Japan Prize for his research on tropical ecology, teamwork has always been crucial—to his professional success and, in one instance, to his survival. Ashton, the Bullard research professor of forestry, emeritus, was among three winners who received the annual award from the Science and Technology Foundation of Japan (JSTF) last month.
