Why Is Wendell L. Minckley Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Wendell Lee Minckley was a college professor and leading expert on fish. He spent most of his career at Arizona State University. In 1963, he with Robert Rush Miller discovered and named the northern platyfish in honor of Dr. Myron Gordon. Dr. Minckley, in turn, had five species named in his honor. Dr. Minckley died on June 22, 2001, in Desert Samaritan Hospital in Mesa, Arizona, from complications associated with treatment for cancer.
