Wolfgang Friedrich Wülker, on the Occasion of His 85th Birthday

Wolfgang Wülker was born on 25 September 1925 to get grants to visit Wuelker in Freiburg. In their at Frankfurt, Germany. brief stay there Jim and Wolfgang held endless dis- cussions on midge and Mary focused on In 1952 he began working as a scientific assistant getting a camera lucida drawing of some of the Keyl at the Hydrobiological Station Falkau arms. Wolfgang became more entranced with the (later the Limnological Institute of the University possibility of using polytene chromosomes in Chi- of Freiburg, Walter Schlienz-Institut). His initial ronomid taxonomy and phylogeny and spent some publications were on fish, but papers on chirono- time in other labs in Germany becoming acquainted mids began appearing from 1956. He was at Falkau with methodology and cytotaxonomy in general. for about 10 years and added to the collection of the station both specimens from the Black Forest area, and specimens collected on his research trips to Spain (1954), Fennoscandinavia (1956), Sudan (1963), USA and Canada (1964). He did his Habilitation in Zoology and Limnol- ogy on intersexuality in Chironomus and the biol- ogy of Sergentia at the University of Freiburg, in 1960. Then in 1962 he joined the University of Freiburg. After his official retirement Wolfgang continued to work at the University, later transferring his labo- ratory to his home. Wolfgang was involved in collaborations with col- leagues in many countries during his long career, some of which lasted for many years and produced many publications. A photograph of Wolfgang with Jim Sublette in Portales, N.M. in 1964 was reproduced on page 6 of volume 21 of this news- letter. His collaboration with Jim Sublette, Jon Martin and later Mac Butler, has produced 16 pa- pers from 1967 to the present; that with the Rus- sian workers, notably Iya Kiknadze and her group, 15 since about 1993; seven with the Swiss group Wolfgang Wülker.

Wolfgang’s In 1965 Wolfgang was still working in the field of full bibliography of chironomid publications is at- mermithid parasitism in and he was tached. funded to come to the U.S. to attempt cross-inocu- lation of mermithid infective larvae into Nearctic Jon Martin samples. Wolfgang had worked with Sergentia and Melbourne wanted to locate nearctic populations. He knew that John Stahl at the University of Indiana had worked on Sergentia in Crooked Lake. The Sub- lette family and Wuelker family met up in Indiana My wife, Mary, and I first met Wolfgang and his and spent a week together at Shafer Lake, where wife, Dorothea, in Vienna at the 1959 SIL meet- Jim’s brother had lakeside acreage and a home. ing.
