from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jason Andrew Dunlop (born May 7, 1970 in Basingstoke ) is a British paleontologist and zoologist .

Life

At the age of three, his parents moved with him to Cleethorpes , where he attended Signhills School from 1974 to 1981 and the Lindsey School from 1981 to 1988. First he wanted Medicine study, but then decided on the advice of his biology teacher who gave him among other things, an article by John Pirt ( Zoologists need not apply showed), for the study of zoology .

After completing his bachelor's degree at the University of Leeds in 1991 , he moved to the University of Manchester , where he completed his Ph.D. ( Paleobiology of the Trigonotarbids ) with Paul Selden . For another three years he worked as a post-doctoral student at the University of Manchester with a focus on the evolution of the jawbones ( Origins and early evolution of the chelicerates ).

In 1997 he was appointed curator at the Museum für Naturkunde in Berlin , where he looks after the collections of arachnids and millipedes and has focused his research on the evolution of arachnids and their relatives as well as on fossil arachnids.

Since 2001 he has been Secretary of the International Society of Arachnology and from 2002 to 2016 he was Vice President of the European Society of Arachnology .
