Albert Pitts Morse
Albert Pitts Morse (February 10, 1863 – April 29, 1936) was an American entomologist who specialized in the Orthoptera of North America. Morse was born to Leonard Townsend of Sherborn, Massachusetts and Phebe Adaline Knapp. His paternal ancestors included Samuel Morse of Dedham. He went to local schools and graduated from Sawin Academy in 1879. He took an interest in the natural world, influenced by naturalists like Amory L. Babcock, Edgar J. Smith and William Edwards. He farmed for a while and after 1888 he joined Wellesley College as an assistant in the zoology department with which he remained associated until 1933. He attended a summer school in entomology at Woods Hole Woods Hole is a census-designated place in the town of Falmouth in Barnstable County, Massachusetts, United States.

Insects Described In 1896
Insects (from Latin ') are pancrustacean hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body ( head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes and one pair of antennae. Their blood is not totally contained in vessels; some circulates in an open cavity known as the haemocoel. Insects are the most diverse group of animals; they include more than a million described species and represent more than half of all known living organisms. The total number of extant species is estimated at between six and ten million; In: potentially over 90% of the animal life forms on Earth are insects. Insects may be found in nearly all environments, although only a small number of species reside in the oceans, which are dominated by another arthropod group, crustaceans, which recent research has indicated insects are nested within. Nearly all insects hatch from eggs. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
