Biographical Memoirs: VOLUME 75
graduate students J. R. Beerbower and N. Hotton; his UCLA faculty colleagues C. F. Brunk, M. S. Gordon, J. W. Schopf, and B. Van Valkenburgh; and previously at the University of Chicago, R. C. Lewontin and D. B. Wake; paleontologists R. L. Carroll and R. Reisz. I am especially indebted to R. Rainger, whose papers and suggestions enabled me to place Ole's accomplishments in a broader perspective, and J. R. Beerbower, C. M. Blair, and C. F. Brunk who criticized the manuscript. Beerbower also contributed many fine points, which were too numerous to cite individually in the text. This memoir is contribution 1012 from Ecology and Evolution at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
