Lynds Jones (5 January 1865 - 11 February 1951) was an American naturalist, professor and a pioneer in the field of animal ecology. He introduced academic courses in ornithology and ecology at the Oberlin College where he taught for many years. Jones was also the founding editor of the Wilson Bulletin produced by the Wilson Ornithological Club of which he was a member from its inception in 1888.

Jones was born to Publius Virgilius and Lavinia Burton Jones in Jefferson, Ohio. The family moved to Grinnell, Iowa where Jones developed an interest in the birds of the region. He studied at Grinnell College and later moved to Oberlin College obtaining an A.B. in 1892 and an M.S. in 1895. He then moved to Chicago to study under Henry C. Cowles and V.E. Shelford, obtaining a Ph.D. in 1905. His thesis was on the development of feathers in nestlings. Jones returned to Oberlin College and taught zoology apart from serving as a curator at the natural history museum of the college. Jones was the first to offer a course in ornithology in 1895 and one on ecology.^[1]

Jones was a founding member of the Wilson Ornithological Club in 1888 and served as the founding editor for its journal, the Wilson Bulletin (initially issued under other titles).

Lands married Clara Mabelle Tallmon, daughter of an older neighbour in Iowa who taught him collection and taxidermy, in 1892.^[2]
