Antoine René-Edouard Claparède (born April 24, 1832 in Chancy , Canton of Geneva , † May 31, 1871 in Siena , Tuscany ) was a Swiss zoologist and professor of comparative anatomy in Geneva.

Life

René-Edouard Claparède's parents were pastor Jean-Louis Claparède and Amélie Susanne (née Perdriau). His brother was Théodore Claparède (1828–1888). The family originally came from Languedoc , but fled to Geneva as a result of the Huguenot persecution in 1724. He studied in Geneva and Berlin . In 1853 he heard lectures in zoology from Johannes Peter Müller . In 1857 he obtained a doctorate in medicine.

At first he represented François Jules Pictet at the academy in Geneva until he became professor of zoology and comparative anatomy in 1862. In 1861, in the Revue Germanique Internationale, he was one of the first to demonstrate the great importance of Charles Darwin's theories . In the same year he was awarded the Grand Prize in Physics from the Paris Academy of Sciences . He researched the structure of the infusoria ( infusion animals ), the anatomy of annelids , the histology of the earthworm, the organization of the molluscs , the embryology of the arthropods and the evolution of the spiders.

Claparède fell seriously ill in 1868 and spent his last years in Italy. He died of tuberculosis in Siena in 1871 at the age of 39 .
