This Day In History

1903 G. Evelyn Hutchinson was born on this day. An English born US zoologist and ecologist who specialized in limnology. Often referred to variously as the father of modern ecology and/or limnology. Hutchinson Lake, Ontario, Canada, is named for him. He is honoured in the names of at least 22 taxa including two genera, species names include hutchinsoni, hutchinsonii, and hutchinsoniana.
Limnology - derived from Limn-, Greek, limnh, lake, marsh; -ology, logos, account, explanation, narrative, reasoning; study (post-classical) – the study of the physical and biological aspects of lakes and other bodies of fresh water.
