R. Haven Wiley

See http://rhwiley.bio.unc.edu -- and https://rhavenwiley.wordpress.com/ -- Haven Wiley has studied animal behavior since his youth in Kentucky in the 1950's. As an undergraduate at Harvard University and a graduate student with Peter Marler at The Rockefeller University, his interests focused on social organization and communication. Subsequently, he taught animal behavior and evolution for forty years at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he is currently professor emeritus of biology. During this time he and his students conducted research on animal social behavior and communication in the field at many locations throughout North and South America and the Caribbean, in steppes, savannas, oak-hickory and rain forests, and oceanic islands. He has written his own computer programs for the analysis of sounds and evolution since the 1970s, when a single computer filled an entire room, and the earliest days of personal computers, when anything complicated required mastery of assembly language. He is an elected fellow of the Animal Behavior Society. He has two grown children and lives with his wife near Chapel Hill.
