In 1889 he became an associate professor, and from 1893 to 1931 was a full professor of zoology and comparative anatomy at the University of Basel. In 1900 he was named university rector.〔(Biography ) @ Historical Dictionary of Switzerland〕 Zschokke is best known for his work in the field of hydrobiology (lake fauna) and for his zoogeographical studies of Central European wildlife. He was an instructor to Adolf Portmann and a good friend of explorer Fridtjof Nansen.〔 In 1927, with Portmann and Nansen, he published "''Nordland: Eine Ferienfahrt nach Norwegen und Spitzbergen''" (Northland, an excursion to Norway and Spitzbergen).〔(Google Books ) Nordland: Eine Ferienfahrt nach Norwegen und Spitzbergen〕 In 1892 he became member of the ''Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina''.〔 After his death, a donation enabled the construction of the "Zschokke house", a building located on the Gerschnialp, at the foot of the Titlis in the ski and hiking resort of Engelberg. Today the structure is used for weekend seminars and workshops.〔(Zschokke house on the Gerschnialp )〕 == Selected works == * ''Seenfauna'', 1897 – Lake fauna. * ''Die Tierwelt der Hochgebirgsseen'', 1900 – Wildlife of high mountain lakes. * ''Die Tierwelt der Schweiz in ihren Beziehungen zur Eiszeit'', 1901 – Wildlife of Switzerland and its relationship to the Ice Age. * ''Parasitische Würmer'', 1902 – Parasitic worms. * ''Die Tiefenfauna des Vierwaldstätter-Sees'', 1905 – Deepwater fauna of Lake Lucerne. * ''Die tiefseefauna der seen Mitteleuropas; eine geographisch-faunistische studie'', 1911 – Deepwater fauna of mid-European lakes, a geographic-faunistic study. * ''Der flug der tiere'', 1919 – Flight of animals.〔(WorldCat Search ) published works〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Friedrich Zschokke」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
