Henry S. Horn (November 12, 1941 – March 14, 2019)[1] was a natural historian and ecologist. He was an emeritus professor in the Ecology and Evolutionary Biology Department at Princeton University. He worked on a wide variety of topics including the following:
- the geometrical structure of forests[2]
- patterns of forest succession[3]
- wind dispersal of seeds[4]
- spatial patterns of competition[5]
- social behavior of butterflies
Education
He completed his Bachelor of Arts at Harvard University in 1962 and his Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Washington in 1966. His Ph.D. thesis was a pioneering study on the adaptive nature of the social behavior of blackbirds.[1]
He was also one of several scientists to have proposed the intermediate disturbance hypothesis.[6]
