John Dennis Carthy (7 April 1923 – 13 March 1972) was a British zoologist and ethologist whose primary study subjects were the sensory systems and behaviour of invertebrates.[1] He published 11 books and numerous scientific articles.

Life and career

John D Carthy went to Bedford School, and received his undergraduate training at Christ’s College at the University of Cambridge.[1][2] During WW2 he served in the Operational Research Section of the RAF Bomber Command,[3][4] after which he returned to Cambridge, and completed first his undergraduate studies and subsequently obtained a PhD at Cambridge in 1950.[1] He joined the faculty of the Zoology Department at Queen Mary College, London in 1950, where he remained until his death in 1972.[1]

In 1967 he became the first Scientific Director of the Field Studies Council,[1] where he led the establishment of the Oil Pollution Research Unit at Orielton Field Studies Centre, Pembrokeshire and the setting up of the Epping Forest Conservation Centre.[1][4][5][6] He was a fellow of the Institute of Biology and a Secretary of the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour (ASAB) and the Society for Experimental Biology and a council member of the Royal Entomological Society (vice presidency in 1962).[1]

John Carthy was a prominent science communicator, with many appearances on popular radio and television programmes,[1][4] e.g. the BBC’s "Meet the Professor", "Tonight", "Nature Parliament" and "Young Scientists of the Year".[7][8][9]
