(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, George Owen Mackie was a British–Canadian zoologist who was a professor emeritus of biology at the University of Victoria. Prior to this, he worked at the University of Alberta Department of Zoology, which he left in 1968. Much of his research focused on invertebrate behavioural physiology. He was born in Lincolnshire, England, on October 20, 1929, the youngest son of Frederick Percival Mackie. After obtaining a B.A. from the University of Oxford in 1953, he obtained an M.A. and a D. Phil from Oxford in 1957. In 1982, he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. In 1991, he was made a fellow of the Royal Society of London. Mackie died on August 25, 2023, at the age of 93.
