Robert Treat "Bob" Paine III (April 13, 1933 – June 13, 2016) was an American ecologist who spent most of his career at the University of Washington. Paine coined the keystone species concept to explain the relationship between '' Pisaster ochraceus'', a species of starfish, and '' Mytilus californianus'', a species of mussel. Early life and education Paine was born on April 13, 1933, and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He was fascinated by biology from a very young age.Natalie Hisdah"An idea that spawned a legacy" ''Department of Biology eNews'', University of Washington, Summer 2013. Retrieved 15 June, 2016. "All my early childhood memories involve biology. I remember sitting in the dirt driveway when I was around two-and-a-half years old and watching ants—I was utterly fascinated with nature from a very young age."

University Of Wisconsin–Madison Alumni
A university () is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which awards academic degrees in several academic disciplines. Universities typically offer both undergraduate and postgraduate programs. In the United States, the designation is reserved for colleges that have a graduate school. The word ''university'' is derived from the Latin ''universitas magistrorum et scholarium'', which roughly means "community of teachers and scholars". The first universities were created in Europe by Catholic Church monks. The University of Bologna (''Università di Bologna''), founded in 1088, is the first university in the sense of: *Being a high degree-awarding institute. *Having independence from the ecclesiastic schools, although conducted by both clergy and non-clergy. *Using the word ''universitas'' (which was coined at its foundation). *Issuing secular and non-secular degrees: grammar, rhetoric, logic, theology, canon law, notarial law.Hunt Janin: "The universi ...

Academic Journal Editors
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 accumulation, d ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Spirodela
''Spirodela'' is a genus of aquatic plants, one of several genera containing plants commonly called duckweed. ''Spirodela'' species are members of the Araceae under the APG II system. They were formerly members of the Lemnaceae. ''Spirodela'' species are free-floating thalli; two to five plants may remain connected to each other. Plants are green, but may have a red or brown underside. Multiple roots (seven to 12) emerge from each thallus. ''Spirodela'' is larger () than ''Lemna'' ( – , one root per thallus). Certain species of ''Spirodela'' overwinter as turions, a dormant form that lacks air pockets, so sinks to the bottom of the pond. In spring, turions rise to the surface and germinate to start a new population. ''Spirodela'' often forms floating mats with related species, e.g. ''Lemna'' and ''Wolffia''. The genus is virtually cosmopolitan in distribution. ''Spirodela punctata'' is sometimes treated as ''Landoltia punctata''.Les, D. H. and D. J. Crawford. 1999. ''La ...
