That comes unexpected to me and though his approach was controversial, it added a lot of value in the scientific debate. My thoughts are with his family & friends...
That is a shock! Despite my criticisms of many of his ideas, it's a great loss to science.
The latest discovery by Dr. Edward Louis's group at Henry Doorly Zoo and its collaborators has been named Groves' dwarf lemur, Cheirogaleus grovesi. A fitting tribute to a giant of primatology and his work on the genus.
A fitting tribute to an accomplished scientist who always managed to combine fundamental research with thought provoking new perceptions.
