In ricordo di Alfred Wallace

La Linnean Society dedica un numero speciale del Biological Journal of the Linnean Society ad Alfred Wallace nel centenario della sua morte

Per celebrare il centenario della morte di Alfred Wallace la Linnean Society ha realizzato un numero speciale del Biological Journal of the Linnean Society in cui vengono riproposti quattro testi di cui Wallace è stato autore e 13 articoli scritti da Autori il cui lavoro ha tratto ispirazione dalla sua attività di ricerca.
