Hans von Boetticher

Hans von Boetticher (30 August 1886 – 20 January 1958) was a German zoologist who worked on ornithology and entomology. Boetticher was employed at the natural history museum in Coburg.

Several of his works deal with the higher level taxonomy of bird groups based on morphology, phylogeny and biogeography. Some of his other works include those on the pinnipeds. His special area of interest included ducks and geese, turacos, parrots, pigeons and sea-birds. The South American duck genera Amazonetta and Speculanas were designated by him. Some of the other bird taxa that he named such as Galapagornis are no longer valid.[1]

He wrote a series of books on bird families. These included Gänse- und Entenvögel aus aller Welt (1952), Albatrosse und andere Sturmvögel (1955), Lärmvögel, Turakos und Pisangfresser (1955), Fasanen, Pfauen, Perlhühner und andere Zierhühner (1956) and Pelikane, Kormorane und andere Ruderfüßler (1957).

gollark: Besides, Sputnik had bad quality control issues, they'd probably mess up the chips.
gollark: Why would we distribute microchips via vaccines? That would be very obvious. They self-assemble out of bits in food and larger airborne particulates.
gollark: Probably next week. You can help by eating more silicon and various exotic nonmetals.
gollark: Not really, the transmit power is lower than it should be. We had to offload its data onto your backup microchip.
gollark: Why? They can totally be made that via something something determinant.
