ECKHARD HEINRICH HESS (1916 – 1986) was a German-born American psychologist and ethologist, known for his research on pupillometry and animal imprinting. He joined the Department of Psychology at the University of Chicago as an instructor in 1948. He became a full professor in the Department of Psychology in 1959, and served as its chairman from 1963 to 1968. Hess pioneered the study of animal behavior from an ethological/evolutionary perspective at a time when Skinner's behaviorism was the dominant paradigm of animal behavior study in the United States.

PROVENANCE: SIR PATRICK BATESON (1938 – 2017) was an English biologist, expert on ethology and phenotypic plasticity. Bateson was a professor at the University of Cambridge and served as president of the Zoological Society of London from 2004 to 2014. Bateson was a biologist who specialised in researching the behavior of animals and how it is influenced by genetic and environmental factors. He was a world authority on imprinting in birds — the process of learning to recognise their parents and members of their own species — and his work led to new principles in behavioural development. He had an interest in how developmental and behavioural processes influence evolution. Bateson was knighted for services to science in the 2003 Birthday Honours list. He received an Honorary Doctor of Science (ScD) degree from the University of St Andrews and an Honorary Fellowship from Queen Mary University of London. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society (FRS) in 1983. In 2014 he received the Frink Medal from the Zoological Society of London.
