Born in 1919 in Chicago, earned a BS in 1941 and a Ph D. in 1949 from the University of Chicago. In between he skippered a minesweeper during World War II. He arrived on the University of Iowa faculty in 1955, became Director of Lakeside in 1963, retired in full health in 1989 at age 70.
He published over 50 papers on the behavioral ecology of crustaceans, molluscs, insects, and amphibians, including the 1970 classic: Ecological isolation and competitive exclusion in two crayfish (Orconectes virilis and Orconectes immunis). Ecology 51:225-236.
Of his teaching, one student said: "His class was the only one I've ever seen where, at the end, the students gave him a standing ovation." We remembered Dick on the occasion of his retirement with a special issue of The Journal of the Iowa Academy of Science (Volume 97, number 4).
