CLAPAREDE, See also:JEAN See also:LOUIS RENA See also:ANTOINE EDOUARD (1832–187o) , Swiss naturalist, was See also:born at See also:Geneva on the 24th of See also:April 1832. He belonged to a See also:French See also:family, some members of which had taken See also:refuge in that See also:city after the revocation of the See also:Edict of See also:Nantes. In 1852 he began to study See also:medicine and natural See also:science at See also:Berlin, where he was greatly influenced by J. See also:Muller and C. G. See also:Ehrenberg, the former being at that See also:period engaged in his important researches on the Echinoderms. In 1855 he accompanied Muller to See also:Norway, and there spent two months on a desolate See also:reef that he might obtain satisfactory observations. The latter See also:part of his stay at Berlin he devoted, along with J. See also:Lachmann, to the study of the See also:Infusoria and Rhizopods. In 1857 he obtained the degree of See also:doctor, and in 1862 he was chosen See also:professor of See also:comparative See also:anatomy at Geneva. In 1859 he visited See also:England, and in See also:company with W. B.

Carpenter made a voyage to the See also:Hebrides; and in 1863 he spent some months in the See also:Bay of See also:Biscay. On the See also:appearance of See also:Darwin's See also:work on the Origin of See also:Species, he adopted his theories and published a valuable See also:series of articles on the subject in the Revue Germanique (1861). During 1865 and 1866 See also:ill-See also:health rendered him incapable of work, and he determined to pass the See also:winter of 1866–1867 in See also:Naples. The See also:change of See also:climate produced some amelioration, and his See also:energy was attested by two elaborate volumes on the Annelidae of the gulf. He again visited Naples with See also:advantage in 1868; but in 187o, instead of recovering as before, he See also:grew worse, and on the 31st of May he died at See also:Siena on his way See also:home. His Recherches sur la structure See also:des annelides sedentaires were published posthumously in 1873.
