Collection Description

Historical Note

Richard G. Wiegert was a professor of Zoology and Ecology at the University of Georgia. Part of his tenure in Ecology was spent as head of the Ecology faculty and graduate coordinator. In his later years he was professor with the Marine Sciences Department. His work with UGA covered a span of 40 years, during which he published over 100 books and articles and participated in 30 research grants. His research areas included ecology of southeastern intertidal wetlands, ecology of thermal spring communities, and theoretical ecology and modeling.

Wiegert was born in Toledo, Ohio in 1934, son of Arthur E. and Helen Bremford Wiegert. He grew up on a farm in Lenawee County, Michigan. He was in the U.S. Army from 1954-1956. He attended Adrian College where he received his Bachelor of Science in 1954, received his Master of Science from Michigan State University in 1958 and his PhD from the University of Michigan in 1962. He received an honorary Doctor of Science degree from Adrian College, and a Research Recognition Award as well as a Creative Research Award from the University of Georgia. He passed away in 2002 at the age of 70.
