Victor Fatio
Victor Fatio (28 November 1838 – 19 March 1906), was a Swiss zoologist. He was a bird conservationist, noting the value of birds in pest control in agriculture. He was involved in organizing the first anti-phylloxera congress in Lauxanne in 1877. Biography Fatio was born as Victor Fatio de Beaumont in Geneva to lawyer Gustave Fatio de Beaumont and Suzanne Françoise. His interest in animals was aroused in childhood, when he was accompanied his father on hunting trips. Fatio studied physiology in Zurich, Berlin and Leipzig where he studied under Ernst Heinrich and Eduard Weber to receive the degree of a Doctor of Philosophy with a thesis titled ''De avium corpore pneumatic'' (1860). In 1861 however, he almost forgot his physiology knowledge due to a typhoid fever illness. After his recovery he went to Paris in 1862 to participate in the courses of Henri Milne-Edwards (1800–1885) and Claude Bernard at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle, where he studied zoology. He also ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Bavarian Pine Vole
The Bavarian pine vole (''Microtus bavaricus'') is a vole from the Austrian, Italian, and Bavarian Alps of Europe. It lives in moist meadows at elevations of 600 to 1,000 meters. Conservation There are 23 museum specimens of this species; it was previously known to live in only one location, Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Bavaria, which was altered by the construction of a hospital in the 1980s. No specimens of this rodent were recorded after 1962 and it was thought to be extinct. However, a population apparently belonging to this species was discovered in 2000 in Northern Tyrol, just across the German-Austrian border. An Austrian scientist, Friederike Spitzenberger, stumbled upon the species in a live trap. Its species status was confirmed by genetic studies, and it was found to be very closely related to Liechtenstein's vole ('' Microtus liechtensteini'') from the Eastern Alps. Further research is required to determine the size and range of the population and the species has been ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
