The Evolution of Mating Systems
in Insects and Arachnids
In the broad array of human diversity, George Eickwort
stood out as one of those who was both delightful and
productive to be with. Whether as a student, a teacher,
a co-researcher, or whatever else, he worked hard while
always managing to be both stimulating and entertaining
to those around him. I always felt I was fortunate to have
him as a student and friend. He is much missed.
C. D. Michener
We dedicate this volume to the memory and inspiration of George Eickwort.
