Why Is Roy Crowson Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Roy Albert Crowson was an English biologist who specialised in the taxonomy of beetles. He lectured at the Zoology Department of the University of Glasgow from 1949. He collected beetles and their larvae from around the world and studied the relationships between them. His 1955 monograph, The natural classification of the families of Coleoptera, established a system for the classification of beetles that remains in use.
