7South American Fieldwork/Cytogenetic Knowledge: The Cytogenetic Research Program of Sally Hughes-Schrader and Franz SchraderPerspectives on Science 28 (2): 127-169. 2020.The marriage of Sally Peris Hughes (1895–1984) and Franz Schrader (1891–1962) in November 1920 launched a highly successful scientific collaboration that lasted over four decades. The Schraders were avid naturalists, adroit experimentalists, and keen theoreticians, and both had long, productive, and fruitful careers in zoology. They offer an extraordinarily rich case study that provides an insightful view of the work carried out in several areas of the life sciences from the 1920s to the 1960s—f…Read more

3Mr. Darwin’s Beloved Barnacles: Using Cirripedes to Understand Evolution in “Origin of Species”In Maria Elice Brzezinski Prestes (ed.), Understanding Evolution in Darwin's “Origin”: The Emerging Context of Evolutionary Thinking, Springer. pp. 129-146. 2023.In 1835, as a young naturalist on board the Beagle expedition exploring the delights of South American flora and fauna, Charles Darwin encountered a tiny new barnacle off the coast of Chile that he found most curious.
