Hans Bell

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Klingel (born March 29, 1932 in Ludwigshafen ; † January 14, 2019 in Braunschweig ) was a German zoologist and behavioral scientist. He was ( emeritus ) professor at the Zoological Institute of the Technical University of Braunschweig . Together with his wife Ute Klingel, he researched the social system of zebras, among other things . The decisive factor for his research in Africa was a request from Bernhard Grzimek .

Scientific career

Hans Klingel studied zoology, botany and chemistry at Carthage College, USA, and in Freiburg and Mainz. After receiving his doctorate in 1958 with Fritz Schaller in Mainz on the reproductive behavior (indirect spermatophore transmission) in the chilopods Scutigera and Scolopendra , he was a scholarship holder of the German Research Foundation from 1958 to 1962 . During this time he researched in Europe and South-East Asia, among other things, on indirect spermatophoric transmission in other lower arthropods (chilopods Lithobius and Geophilus , Pedipalpen) and on the flight behavior of Draco volans . From 1960 to 1962 he made research trips to Asia. In 1962 he received an invitation from Bernhard Grzimek to work on the Serengeti Research Project in the Serengeti National Park in Tanzania for three years and to research the behavior and ecology of the plains zebra . From 1962 to 1965 he worked for the Serengeti Research Project in Tanzania. This was followed by a position at the Zoological Institute of the Technical University of Braunschweig . During this time he undertook further research on equidae ( mountain zebra , Grevy's zebra , African wild ass and Asian wild ass ), hippos , giant forest pigs and feral dromedaries . His habilitation took place in 1967, in 1972 he became an adjunct professor and in 1978 he became a professor . He was retired in 1997.
