Early lifeFrederick Bayer was born on Halloween night 1921,[2] in Asbury Park, New Jersey,[1] but spent much of his childhood in south Florida, where he collected seashells and became an amateur naturalist.[1] Bayer joined the Army Air Forces during World War II and served in the Pacific as a photographic technician.[1] While in the military, he often sketched and collected fish, shells and butterflies throughout the Pacific region.[1] Bayer received his bachelor's degree from the University of Miami.[1] He continued his studies and obtained a master's degree in taxonomy from George Washington University in 1954.[1] In 1958, he completed a doctorate in taxonomy from George Washington University.[1] CareerBayer worked at the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History from 1947 until 1961.[1] He returned to work at the museum again from 1975 until 1996. He served as a professor at the University of Miami's marine science school between 1961 and 1975. While at Miami, Bayer participated in a number of soft coral-collecting expeditions in the Caribbean Sea and in the waters off West Africa.[1] Following his arrival at the Smithsonian, Bayer was sent to Bikini Atoll in the Pacific Ocean to study the effects of nuclear testing on the island's marine life, as part of the re-survey conducted one year after the Able and Baker tests of 1946 were carried out.[3] Bayer also spent several months doing field research throughout the rest of Micronesia.[1] Bayer wrote over 130 scholarly papers on the history and taxonomy of soft coral.[1] He focused much of his soft coral research on octocorals, which include sea fans and sea whips.[1] He discovered 170 new species of marine life, 40 new genera, and three new families.[1] Japan's Emperor Hirohito, who was also a marine biologist, actually named a hydroid, Hydractinia bayeri, in honor of Frederick Bayer.[1] Bayer returned the favor while Hirohito was on a state visit to Washington, D.C. in 1975. He presented Hirohito with a rare snail shell which was the "size of a hat."[1]Bayer served as a member of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature from 1972 to 1995.[1] He was also an accomplished bio-illustrator. Bayer painted and designed a total of fourteen scientifically accurate marine scenes. These particular scenes were used for a set of Haitian postage stamps in 1973.[1] DeathFrederick Bayer died of congestive heart failure on October 2, 2007, at the Washington Home hospice in Washington D.C. at the age of 85.[1] Taxa named in honorTaxa named in honor of Frederick Bayer include:
