Ryuichi Matsuda (1920-1986) was a Japanese entomologist.〔Ando, H. (1988). ''Obituary: Ryuichi Matsuda, 1920-1986''. International Journal of Insect Morphology and Embryology 7: 91-94.〕 He obtained his PhD in entomology from Stanford University. He worked at the Biosystematics Research Institute of Canada.〔Scheiner, Samuel M. (2004). ("The Metamorphosis of Evo-Devo" ). ''BioScience''. Vol. 54, No. 12. pp. 1150-1151.〕 He wrote several works on the comparative morphology of insects.〔Grimaldi, David; Engel, Michael S. (2005). ''Evolution of the Insects''. Cambridge University Press. p. 143. ISBN 0-521-82149-5〕 He is most well known for his controversial book ''Animal Evolution in Changing Environments'' (1987).〔McCune, Amy R. (1988). ''Animal Evolution In Changing Environments by Ryuichi Matsuda''. ''Science''. New Series, Vol. 239, No. 4837. pp. 300-301.〕〔Shaffer, H. Bradley; Grosberg, Richard K. (1989). ''Animal Evolution in Changing Environments with Special Reference to Abnormal Metamorphosis by Ryuichi Matsuda''. ''Copeia''. Vol. 1989, No. 4. pp. 1121-1122.〕 He coined the term "pan-environmentalism" for his evolutionary theory which he saw as a fusion of Darwinism with neo-Lamarckism. He held that heterochrony is a main mechanism for evolutionary change and that novelty in evolution can be generated by genetic assimilation.〔Pearson, Roy Douglas. (1988). ''Animal Evolution in Changing Environments''. ''Acta Biotheoretica'' 37: 31-36.〕〔Shapiro, Arthur M. (1988). ''Animal Evolution in Changing Environments''. ''Journal of the Lepidopterists Society'' 42: 146-147.〕 His views were criticized by Arthur M. Shapiro for providing no solid evidence for his theory. Shapiro noted that "Matsuda himself accepts too much at face value and is prone to wish-fulfilling interpretation."〔 Interest in Matsuda's research was revived by Brian K. Hall, Gerd B. Müller and others in the volume ''Environment, Development, and Evolution: Toward a Synthesis'' (2004) which was a tribute to his ideas.〔 ==Publications== *''Morphology and Evolution of the Insect Head'' (1965) *''Morphology and Evolution of the Insect Thorax'' (1970) * ''Morphology and Evolution of the Insect Abdomen, with Special Reference to Developmental Patterns and their Bearings on Systematics'' (1976) *''Animal Evolution in Changing Environments: With Special Reference to Abnormal Metamorphosis'' (1987) 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「Ryuichi Matsuda」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
