Erratum to ‘‘From insect ovaries to sheep red blood cells: A tale of two hormones’’ [Journal of Insect Physiology 53(1) (2007) 1–10] Kenneth Davey
The following Author biography should have appeared in the above article. The Publisher apologises for this error and reproduces the biography in full here. Ken Davey obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc., under the supervision of A.W.A. Brown, from the University of Western Ontario in London, Canada. In 1955, he went to Cambridge University to work under the supervision of V.B. Wigglesworth, obtaining his Ph.D. with a dissertation on the physiology of reproduction in Rhodnius in 1958. This work included the first clear demonstration in any animal that spermatozoa were transported by contractions of muscles of the female tract, initiated by secretions from the male. He returned to Canada as a National Research Council Fellow to work in the laboratory of W.E. Beckel at the University of Toronto, where he explored the control of heart rate in Periplaneta. In 1959, he rejoined the Wigglesworth laboratory as a Drosier Fellow of Gonville and Caius College, where he continued his work on visceral muscles, particularly the heart, resulting in the first demonstration of a peptide hormone in insects. In 1963, Ken returned to Canada as Associate Professor at the Institute of Parasitology at McGill University, becoming its Director in 1964. He returned to his work on reproduction in insects and work with Randa Abu-Hakima, a student, and G.E. Pratt and E. Huebner as post docs in particular laid the foundation for the work described in this lecture. In collaboration with R.I. Sommerville on the infective process he and his students made the first clear demonstration of hormonal effects in nematodes. In 1974, he joined York University in Toronto as Chair of Biology, and became successively Dean of Science and Vicepresident Academic, while maintaining a personal involvement in research at the bench. In 1991, he returned to full-time teaching and research. He retired from teaching in 2000, and closed his laboratory in 2002. Much of the work described in the lecture dates from the period after 2000, when he was able to spend full time at the bench.
