CLEVELAND P. HICKMAN, JR.
Cleveland P. Hickman, Jr., Professor Emeritus
of Biology at Washington and Lee University
in Lexington, Virginia, has taught
zoology and animal physiology for more
than 30 years. He received his Ph.D. in
comparative physiology from the University
of British Columbia, Vancouver, B.C.,
in 1958 and taught animal physiology at
the University of Alberta before moving to
Washington and Lee University in 1967.
He has published numerous articles and
research papers in fish physiology, in
addition to co-authoring these highly successful
texts: Integrated Principles of Zoology,
Biology of Animals, Animal Diversity,
Laboratory Studies in Animal Diversity,
and Laboratory Studies in Integrated Principles
of Zoology. Over the years Dr. Hickman has led
many field trips to the Galápagos Islands.
His current research is on intertidal zonation
and marine invertebrate systematics in
the Galápagos. He has published three
field guides in the Galápagos Marine Life
Series for the identification of echinoderms,
marine molluscs, and marine crustaceans.
(To read more about these field guides,

woodworking, and participating in chamber
music ensembles. Dr. Hickman can be contacted at:

Larry S. Roberts, Professor Emeritus of
Biology at Texas Tech University and an
adjunct professor at Florida International
University, has extensive experience
teaching invertebrate zoology, marine
biology, parasitology, and developmental
biology. He received his Sc.D. in parasitology
at the Johns Hopkins University and is
the lead author of Schmidt and Roberts'
Foundations of Parasitology, sixth edition.
Dr. Roberts is also co-author of Integrated
Principles of Zoology, Biology of Animals,
and Animal Diversity, and is author of The
Underwater World of Sport Diving. Dr. Roberts has published many
research articles and reviews. He has
served as President of the American Society
of Parasitologists, Southwestern Association
of Parasitologists, and Southeastern
Society of Parasitologists, and is a
member of numerous other professional
societies. Dr. Roberts also serves on the
Editorial Board of the journal, Parasitology
Research. His hobbies include scuba
diving, underwater photography, and
tropical horticulture. Dr. Roberts can be contacted at:

Allan Larson is a professor at Washington
University, St. Louis, MO. He received his
Ph.D. in genetics at the University of California,
Berkeley. His fields of specialization
include evolutionary biology, molecular
population genetics and systematics, and
amphibian systematics. He teaches courses
in introductory genetics, macroevolution,
molecular evolution, and the history of
evolutionary theory, and has organized
and taught a special course in evolutionary
biology for high-school teachers. Dr. Larson has an active research laboratory
that uses DNA sequences to examine
evolutionary relationships among vertebrate
species, especially in salamanders
and lizards. The students in Dr. Larson's
laboratory have participated in zoological
field studies around the world, including
projects in Africa, Asia, Australia, Madagascar,
North America, South America,
and the Caribbean Islands. Dr. Larson has
authored numerous scientific publications,
and has edited for the journals The
American Naturalist, Evolution, Journal
of Experimental Biology, Molecular Phylogenetics
and Evolution, and Systematic
Biology. Dr. Larson serves as an academic
advisor to undergraduate students and
supervises the undergraduate biology curriculum
at Washington University. Dr. Larson can be contacted at:
larson@wustl.edu. HELEN I'ANSON
Helen I'Anson, a native of England, is
professor of biology at Washington and
Lee University in Lexington, Virginia. She
received her Ph.D. in physiology at the
University of Kentucky, Lexington, KY,
and postdoctoral training at the University
of Michigan, Ann Arbor, MI. She teaches
courses in animal physiology, microanatomy,
neuroendocrinology, general
biology, and reproductive physiology. She
has an active research program that focuses
on the neural regulation of reproductive
development. In particular, she is interested
in how energy is partitioned in the developing
animal, how signals from food and
food storage depots are monitored by the
brain, and how such signals are transduced
to regulate reproductive activity at the onset
of puberty in mammals. Her interests include gardening, hiking,
fishing, aromatherapy, music, and participating
in choral ensembles. Dr. I'Anson can be contacted at:
iansonh@wlu.edu. DAVID J. EISENHOUR
David J. Eisenhour is an associate professor
of biology at Morehead State University
in Morehead, Kentucky. He received
his Ph.D. in zoology from Southern Illinois
University, Carbondale. He teaches
courses in environmental science, human
anatomy, general zoology, comparative
anatomy, ichthyology, and vertebrate
zoology. David has an active research
program that focuses on systematics, conservation
biology, and natural history of
North American freshwater fishes. He has
a particular interest in the diversity of
Kentucky's fishes and is writing a book
about that subject. He and his graduate
students have authored several publications.
David serves as an academic advisor
to prepharmacy students. His interstes include fishing, landscaping,
home remodeling, and entertaining
his three young children, who, along with
his wife, are enthusiastic participants in
fieldwork. |
