CARL THEODOR See also:ERNST VON See also:SIEBOLD (1804–1885) , See also:German physiologist and zoologist, the son of a physician and a descendant of what Lorenz See also:Oken called the " Asclepiad .See also:family of Siebolds," was See also:born at See also:Wurzburg on the 16th of See also:February 1804 . Educated in See also:medicine and See also:science chiefly at the university of See also:Berlin, he became successively See also:professor of See also:zoology, See also:physiology and See also:comparative See also:anatomy in See also:Konigsberg, See also:Erlangen, See also:Freiburg, See also:Breslau and See also:Munich . In See also:conjunction with F . H . Stannius he published (1845-1848) a See also:Manual of Comparative Anatomy, and along with R . A . See also:Kolliker he founded in 1848 a See also:journal which soon took a leading See also:place in biological literature, Zeitschrift See also:fur wissenschaftliche Zoologie . He was also a laborious and successful helminthologist and entomologist, in both capacities contributing many valuable papers to his journal, which he continued to edit until his See also:death at Munich on the 7th of See also:April 1885 . In these ways, without being a See also:man of marked See also:genius, but rather an industrious and See also:critical observer, he came to fill a peculiarly distinguished position in science, and was See also:long reckoned, what his biographer justly calls him, the See also:Nestor of German zoology .
