Arthur Harry Church FRS ( 28 March 1865 - 24 April 1937 ) was a British botanist and botanical illustrator . He was also a pioneer amateur photographer . From 1908 to his retirement in 1930 he was a lecturer in botany at Oxford University and was best known for his inspiring lectures .
The title of reader in the United Kingdom and some universities in the Commonwealth of Nations , for example India , Australia and New Zealand , denotes an appointment for a senior academic with a distinguished international reputation in research or scholarship .
Fellowship of the Royal Society ( FRS , ForMemRS and HonFRS ) is an award granted to individuals that the Royal Society of London judges to have made a 'substantial contribution to the improvement of natural knowledge , including mathematics , engineering science , and medical science ' .
Francis Joseph Cole FRS ( 3 February 1872 - 27 January 1959 ) was an English zoologist and a professor at the University of Reading for 33 years .
The University of Reading is a public university located in Reading , Berkshire , England . It was founded in 1892 as University College , Reading , a University of Oxford extension college . The institution received the power to grant its own degrees in 1926 by royal charter from King George V and was the only university to receive such a charter between the two world wars . The university is usually categorised as a red brick university , reflecting its original foundation in the 19th century . Reading has four major campuses . In the United Kingdom , the campuses on London Road and Whiteknights are based in the town of Reading itself , and Greenlands is based on the banks of the River Thames , Buckinghamshire . It also has a campus in Iskandar Puteri , Malaysia . The university has been arranged into 16 academic schools since 2016 . The annual income of the institution for 2016-17 was £275.3 million of which £35.4 million was from research grants and contracts , with an expenditure of £297.5 million . In worldwide rankings , Reading is ranked 195th by QS World University Rankings 2020 , 201-250 by Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2020 and 90th by CWTS Leiden Ranking 2020 . 98% of the university 's research is labelled as 'internationally recognised ' , 78% as 'internationally excellent and 27% as 'world leading ' . It was the first university to win a Queen 's Award for Export Achievement , in 1989 .
The Cole Museum of Zoology is a university museum , part of the School of Biological Sciences at the University of Reading . It is located on the university 's Whiteknights Campus in the town of Reading , Berkshire , England . The collection was established in the early 20th century by Francis J. Cole ( Professor of Zoology ) , Dr Nellie B. Eales ( who catalogued the collection ) , and Mr Stoneman , from 1907 to 1939 when Cole retired . On Cole 's death in 1959 , the University also purchased his library of books , which are kept as a special collection in the main library . A refurbishment of the museum was completed on 17 March 2004 , enlarging the floor area to display a wider sample of the entire collection . It contains about 4,000 specimens of which about 400 are on display at any one time . Specimens are arranged in 27 cases in taxonomic sequence , thus enabling a complete tour of the diversity of the animal kingdom . Specimens include a male Indian circus elephant skeleton , a 5-metre reticulated python skeleton containing 400 vertebrae , a fossil of the largest spider to ever have lived , and a false killer whale skeleton .
Hugh Davies ( 3 April 1739 - 16 February 1821 ) was a Welsh botanist and Anglican clergyman . He spent most of his professional life on the island of Anglesey and published a treatise on the flora of the county , which was the first volume to cross-reference plant names in the Welsh language with their scientific names .
William Weekes Fowler ( January 1849 - 3 June 1923 ) was an English clergyman and entomologist mainly interested in beetles .
New College is one of the constituent colleges of the University of Oxford in the United Kingdom . Founded in 1379 by William of Wykeham , the full name of the college is St Mary 's College of Winchester in Oxford . The name New College , however , soon came to be used following its completion in 1386 to distinguish it from the older existing college of St Mary , now known as Oriel College . In 2017 , the college ranked first in the Norrington Table , a table assessing the relative performance of Oxford 's undergraduates in final examinations . Historically , it has been ranked highly . It has the 3rd highest average Norrington Table ranking over the previous decade . The college is between Holywell Street and New College Lane ( known for Oxford 's Bridge of Sighs ) , next to All Souls College , Harris Manchester College , Hertford College , The Queen 's College and St Edmund Hall . The college 's sister college is King 's College , Cambridge . The college is one of the main choral foundations of the University of Oxford . The college choir is regarded as one of the leading choirs of the world , and has recorded over one hundred albums ; it has been awarded two Gramophone Awards . Like many of Oxford 's colleges , New College admitted its first mixed-sex cohort in 1979 , after six centuries as an institution for men only .
Entomology ( from Ancient Greek ἔντομον ( entomon ) , meaning 'insect ' , and -λογία ( -logia ) , meaning 'study of ' ) is the scientific study of insects , a branch of zoology . In the past the term insect was vaguer , and historically the definition of entomology included the study of terrestrial animals in other arthropod groups or other phyla , such as arachnids , myriapods , earthworms , land snails , and slugs . This wider meaning may still be encountered in informal use . Like several of the other fields that are categorized within zoology , entomology is a taxon-based category ; any form of scientific study in which there is a focus on insect-related inquiries is , by definition , entomology . Entomology therefore overlaps with a cross-section of topics as diverse as molecular genetics , behavior , biomechanics , biochemistry , systematics , physiology , developmental biology , ecology , morphology , and paleontology . At some 1.3 million described species , insects account for more than two-thirds of all known organisms , date back some 400 million years , and have many kinds of interactions with humans and other forms of life on earth .
The Royal Entomological Society is devoted to the study of insects . Its aims are to disseminate information about insects and improving communication between entomologists . The society was founded in 1833 as the Entomological Society of London . It had many antecedents beginning as the Society of Entomologists of London .
Walter Garstang FLS FZS ( 9 February 1868 - 23 February 1949 ) , a Fellow of Lincoln College , Oxford and Professor of Zoology at the University of Leeds , was one of the first to study the functional biology of marine invertebrate larvae . His best known works on marine larvae were his poems published as Larval Forms and Other Zoological Verses , especially The Ballad of the Veliger . They describe the form and function of several marine larvae as well as illustrating some controversies in evolutionary biology of the time . Garstang was known for his vehement opposition to Ernst Haeckel 's Biogenetic Law , now discredited . He is also noted for his hypothesis on chordate evolution , known as Garstang 's theory , which suggests an alternative route for chordate evolution from echinoderms .
James Brontë Gatenby ( 10 October 1892 - 20 July 1960 ) was a zoologist notable for his work on the structure of cells and the Golgi bodies .
Trinity College ( Irish : Coláiste na Tríonóide ) , officially the College of the Holy and Undivided Trinity of Queen Elizabeth near Dublin , is the sole constituent college of the University of Dublin , a research university located in Dublin , Ireland . The college was founded in 1592 by Queen Elizabeth I as the mother of a university that was modeled after the collegiate universities of Oxford and Cambridge , but unlike these institutions , only one college was ever established ; as such , the designations Trinity College and University of Dublin are usually synonymous for practical purposes . The college is legally incorporated by the Provost , Fellows , Foundation Scholars and other members of the Board as outlined by its founding charter . It is one of the seven ancient universities of Britain and Ireland , as well as Ireland 's oldest surviving university . Trinity College is widely considered the most prestigious university in Ireland , in part due to its extensive history . It is consistently ranked as one of the top universities in Europe , and is particularly acclaimed in the fields of Law , Literature and Humanities . In accordance with the formula of ad eundem gradum , a form of recognition that exists among the three universities , a graduate of Oxford , Cambridge , or Dublin can be conferred with the equivalent degree at either of the other two universities without further examination . Trinity College , Dublin is a sister college to St John 's College , Cambridge and Oriel College , Oxford . Originally Trinity was established outside the city walls of Dublin in the buildings of the outlawed Catholic Augustinian Priory of All Hallows . Trinity College was set up in part to consolidate the rule of the Tudor monarchy in Ireland , and as a result was the university of the Protestant Ascendancy for much of its history . While Catholics were admitted from 1793 , certain restrictions on membership of the college remained , as professorships , fellowships and scholarships were reserved for Protestants . These restrictions were lifted by Act of Parliament in 1873 .
Edward Lhuyd ( pronounced [ ˈɬʊid ] ; occasionally written as Llwyd in recent times , in line with Modern Welsh orthography , 1660 - 30 June 1709 ) was a Welsh naturalist , botanist , linguist , geographer and antiquary . He is also known by the Latinized form Eduardus Luidius .
Robert Cyril Layton Perkins FRS ( 15 November 1866 - 29 September 1955 ) was a distinguished British entomologist , ornithologist , and naturalist noted for his work on the fauna of the islands of Hawaii and on Hymenoptera . He is not to be confused with his son John Frederick Perkins , also a hymenopterist .
Hawaiʻi ( /həˈwaɪi/ ( listen ) hə-WY-ee ; Hawaiian : Hawaiʻi [ həˈvɐjʔi ] ) is a state of the United States of America . It is the only state located in the Pacific Ocean and the only state composed entirely of islands . The state encompasses nearly the entire Hawaiian archipelago , 137 islands spread over 1,500 miles ( 2,400 km ) . The volcanic archipelago is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania . At the southeastern end of the archipelago , the eight main islands are , in order from northwest to southeast : Niʻihau , Kauaʻi , Oʻahu , Molokaʻi , Lānaʻi , Kahoʻolawe , Maui , and Hawaiʻi . The last is the largest island in the group ; it is often called the Big Island or Hawaiʻi Island to avoid confusion with the state or archipelago . Hawaiʻi is the 8th-smallest geographically and the 11th-least populous , but the 13th-most densely populated of the 50 states . It is the only state with an Asian American plurality . Hawaii has more than 1.4 million permanent residents , along with many visitors and U.S. military personnel . The state capital and largest city is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu . The state 's ocean coastline is about 750 miles ( 1,210 km ) long , the fourth longest in the U.S. , after the coastlines of Alaska , Florida , and California . Hawaii is the most recent state to join the union , on August 21 , 1959 .
Sir Edward Bagnall Poulton , FRS HFRSE FLS ( 27 January 1856 - 20 November 1943 ) was a British evolutionary biologist who was a lifelong advocate of natural selection through a period in which many scientists such as Reginald Punnett doubted its importance . He invented the term sympatric for evolution of species in the same place , and in his book The Colours of Animals ( 1890 ) was the first to recognise frequency-dependent selection . Poulton is also remembered for his pioneering work on animal coloration . He is credited with inventing the term aposematism for warning coloration , as well as for his experiments on 'protective coloration ' ( camouflage ) . Poulton became Hope Professor of Zoology at the University of Oxford in 1893 .
Ronald Winckworth ( 1884 - 6 September 1950 ) was a British natural historian who became President or Vice-President of three learned societies in the field , and who wrote on the topic of British and Indian mollusca .
The Conchological Society of Great Britain and Ireland is a British-based society concerned with the study of molluscs and their shells . It was founded in 1876 , and is one of the oldest such societies in the world . It is a registered UK charity ( no 208205 ) that anyone can join . It promotes the study of molluscs and their conservation , through meetings , publications , workshops , field meetings , and distribution recording schemes .
The Linnean Society of London is a learned society dedicated to the study and dissemination of information concerning natural history , evolution , and taxonomy . It possesses several important biological specimen , manuscript and literature collections and publishes academic journals and books on plant and animal biology . The society also awards a number of prestigious medals and prizes . A product of the 18th-century enlightenment , the Society is the oldest extant biological society in the world , and is historically important as the venue for the first public presentation of the theory of evolution on 1 July , 1858 . The patron of the society is Queen Elizabeth II . Honorary members include Emeritus Emperor Akihito of Japan , King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden ( both of whom have active interests in natural history ) , and the eminent naturalist and broadcaster Sir David Attenborough .
