Biographies of Zoologists
This collection of biographical articles celebrates some of the individuals who have left a lasting mark on our department, from pioneering nineteenth-century naturalists and evolutionary thinkers to internationally recognised twentieth-century researchers.
They showcase some of the people, ideas, and discoveries that have helped to shape our history: from Francis Maitland Balfour’s pioneering studies of vertebrate evolution and Vincent Wigglesworth’s foundations of modern insect physiology, to Anne McLaren’s ground breaking research in mammalian development and the Bidder family’s contributions to marine biology, physiology and zoological education across several generations.
