This lavishly illustrated collection brings together the best of
his writings, and serves as a glowing testimony to one of the
animal world's most famous champions. [eng]

Darwin, Erasmus (1731-1802)
English physician who, in 1794-1796, published Zoonomia, in which he anticipated some of Lamarck's evolutionary theories. He also published two treatises on the evolution of higher animals from lower organisms. Curiously enough, Erasmus Darwin was the grandfather of Charles Darwin, who would to shake the world with his own evolutionary theories in the nineteenth century. [eng]

Lotka, Alfred (1880-1949)
American biophysicist who formulated the Lotka-Volterra equations of predator/prey interaction, and published Elements of Mathematical Biology (1924), the first book on mathematical biology. [eng]

Swammerdam, Jan (1637-1680)
Dutch naturalist who showed that the insect larva, pupa, and imago can exist simultaneously nested within one another. He collected 3,000 species of insects and made microanatomical studies. He also discovered the red blood cell. [eng]

Trembley, Abraham (1710-1784)
"Studied the freshwater polyp (hydra). In 1741, he showed that it wasn't a plant (as van Leeuwenhoek had believed) since the tentacles could grab objects and bring them to a primitive stomach. He also observed hydra to move by a primitive foot if disturbed." [eng]

Roux, Wilhelm (1850-1924)
Experimentally manipulated the environment of developing eggs and embryos to understand the processes occurring. In 1888, he killed one of the first two balstomeres of a frog's egg with a hot needle, then watched the development of the developing cells. He reported that only half an embryo emerged. This conclusion was shown to be erroneous, however, by Driesch. [eng]

von Humboldt, Alexander von (1769-1859)
German naturalist who noted the apparent complimentary coastlines of South America and Africa and proposed, around 1800, that the two continents had once been joined. His suggestion, the earliest hint of plate tectonics, was not only ignored, but also ridiculed. This fate was subsequently also suffered by Fisher and Wegener. [eng]

Nдgeli, Karl von (1817-1891)
Swiss botanist who studied under Oken. Nдgeli held many mystical views, and opposed the notion of natural selection. He did more harm to biology than good, especially in his contemptuous dismissal of Mendel's work on pea plants. [eng]

Needham, John (1713-1781)
English microscopist who performed experiments on spontaneous generation in mutton broth and hay infusions. To see if organisms came from outside or were generated in the fluid, he heated flasks of broth and corked them tightly. After a short time, he again found microorganisms. This result was, however, an indication that he had not boiled his solutions for long enough, rather than a proof of spontaneous generation. Spallanzani refuted Needham's results in more careful experiments. [eng]

Oken, Lorenz (1779-1851)
German naturalist who was a leader in the Naturphilosophie movement. Oken's views were mystical, including speculations on nothing, something, motion, God, and the geometric form of the universe. His prolific speculations, however, foreshadowed cell theory, as in the idea that all tissues were composed of a "fundamental polyp," or "infusorian." [eng]

Spallanzani, Lazzaro (1729-1799)
Italian biologist who checked Needham's spontaneous generation experiment by using flasks with slender necks that could be melted shut. With proper boiling, he found that the broth so contained would remain sterile indefinitely. He also studied the function of semen and sperm, showing that the fertilization of frog eggs was external by fitting male frogs with tight pants and observing that no tadpoles developed. [eng]

Conrad Gesner
Biography. "In the 16th century, the great naturalist Conrad Gesner published History of Animals, a four-volume series, and On Fossil Objects. In both of these publications, he employed a remarkable innovation: pictures. " [eng]
