Théophile Rudolphe Studer

Théophile Rudolphe Studer, also known as Theophil Studer (1845 to 1922), was a Swiss ornithologist and marine biologist. He worked on the collections made on the voyage of the SMS Gazelle and produced a catalogue of the birds of Switzerland. Another major work was a study of dog skeletons associated with prehistoric human settlements. From 1873 he worked as a professor of zoology at the University of Bern. The source lead for this entry is a short paragraph, so it records his nationality, his fields, his main works and his professorship and leaves the detail of the Gazelle expedition and his other publications to further research from fuller sources.
