Most people who have taken a biology course in the past 50 years
are familiar with the work of David Lack, but few remember his
name. Almost all general biology texts produced during that period
have a figure showing the beak size differences among the finches
of the Galapagos Islands from Lack's 1947 classic, Darwin's
Finches. Lack's pioneering conclusions in Darwin's Finches mark the
beginning of a new scientific discipline, evolutionary ecology. Tim
Birkhead, in his acclaimed book, The Wisdom of Birds, calls Lack
the 'hero of modern ornithology.' Who was this influential, yet
relatively unknown man? The Life of David Lack, Father of
Evolutionary Ecology provides an answer to that question based on
Ted Anderson's personal interviews with colleagues, family members
and former students as well as material in the extensive Lack
Archive at Oxford University.
