Gaston Eugène Marie Bonnier (9 April 1853 in Paris – 2 January 1922) was a French botanist and plant ecologist. Biography Bonnier first studied at École Normale Supérieure in Paris from 1873 to 1876. Together with Charles Flahault, he studied at Uppsala University in 1878. They published two articles about their impressions: * Observations sur la flore cryptogamique de la Scandinavie * Sur la distribution des végétaux dans la region moyenne de la presqu’ile Scandinave (both with Charles Flahault 1879) He became assistant professor, later full professor, of botany at Sorbonne in 1887 and, in addition, he founded a Plant Biological Laboratory in Fontainebleau in 1889. The same year, he co-founded the scientific journal Revue Générale de Botanique, which he edited until 1922. He was an early exponent of experimental plant ecology.

Academic Staff Of The University Of Paris
An academy ( Attic Greek: Ἀκαδήμεια; Koine Greek Ἀκαδημία) is an institution of secondary or tertiary higher learning (and generally also research or honorary membership). The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom and skill, north of Athens, Greece. Etymology The word comes from the ''Academy'' in ancient Greece, which derives from the Athenian hero, '' Akademos''. Outside the city walls of Athens, the gymnasium was made famous by Plato as a center of learning. The sacred space, dedicated to the goddess of wisdom, Athena, had formerly been an olive grove, hence the expression "the groves of Academe". In these gardens, the philosopher Plato conversed with followers. Plato developed his sessions into a method of teaching philosophy and in 387 BC, established what is known today as the Old Academy. By extension, ''academia'' has come to mean the accumulatio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Albert Maige
Albert Maige (26 November 1872 – 29 November 1943) was a French botanist. Among his works was on the forest flora of Algeria. A major contribution was on the synthesis, movement and storage of starch examining the role of the leucoplast, and the enzymes involved in amylolysis in the cytoplasm. Maige was born in Auxonne, Côte d'Or. After the death of his father, a hairdresser, at young age, he and his brother were taken care of by their mother alone. With scholarships he studied at Auxonne, Dijon and received a bachelor's degree in 1889 (aged 17) and went to join university after a year in military service. He graduated in science in 1895 from the Ecole Normale Supérieure and worked in the lab of Gaston Bonnier at Fontainebleau-Avon. He studied climbing plants and the effect of light and obtained a doctorate in 1900. He taught botany at Algiers and married Georgette Binsse in 1901. In 1911 he headed the botany department at the faculty of science of Poitiers. He was conscripte ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

He studied at the University of Lausanne and ETH Zurich (PhD 1894). He continued studies in Paris with Gaston Bonnier. He developed the Jaccard index of similarity (he called it ''coefficient de communauté'') and published it in 1901.Jaccard, P. (1901) Distribution de la flore alpine dans le bassin des Dranses et dans quelques régions voisines. Bulletin de la Société Vaudoise des Sciences Naturelles 37, 241-272. He also introduced the use of the species-to-genus ratio (he called it ''generic coefficient'') in biogeography.Jaccard, P.
