Abstract
Obituary Professor Gwilym O. Evans (1924-2017)
Highlights
The digitalization of Acarologia papers prior to 2000 was supported by Agropolis Fondation under the reference ID 1500-024 through the « Investissements d’avenir » programme (Labex Agro: ANR-10-LABX-0001-01)
After the award of his Bachelor of Science in 1944, he took a job in England at Birmingham’s Water Pollution Research Laboratories, where he worked on early research into the effect of pesticides on the fauna and flora of waterways. Gwilym returned to his native Wales and Aberystwyth University to carry out research for a Master of Science and his Ph.D. (1949)
His Master’s project concerned the bionomics of the sheep ked Melophagus ovinus, most pertinent to the economic welfare of the sheep farmers of Wales, which Gwilym would tell you is a country with more sheep than people! The improved method he devised for observing the ked life cycle was the subject of his first scientific paper, published in the prestigious journal Nature in 1946
