Why Is William L. Peters Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, William L. Peters was an American entomologist specializing in mayflies, especially those in the family Leptophlebiidae. Biography William Lee Peters was born in Leavenworth, Kansas. His father was an electrical engineer; the family moved to New Orleans so that he could work on military aircraft during the Second World War. He gained his B.A. degree at the University of Kansas in 1960. He earned his M.S. in zoology and entomology at the University of Utah in 1962. In 1966, under George F. Edmunds Jr., he completed his PhD, also at Utah, on the taxonomy of the Leptophlebiidae, a family of mayflies. During his studies he travelled to Peru, Jamaica, New Guinea, Thailand and then India to collect mayfly specimens. He immediately joined the faculty at Florida A&M University, tasked with creating a program in entomology there, following the work of Margaret S. Collins at the university. He headed that program there until his death, serving also as research director of the university's College of Engineering Sciences, Technology and Agriculture. He became a full professor there in 1974. He organized the first International Conference on Ephemeroptera in 1970, and chaired the conference's committee for the rest of his life, helping to organize all eight of the 4-yearly conferences held in that period. He served, too, as president of the Florida Entomological Society.
