Tribute to Michael R. Warburg (31 May 1931–9 February 2014)

In commemoration of Prof. M.R. Warburg and of his contribution to terrestrial Isopod biology (31 May 1931, Berlin–9 February 2014, Haifa)

“…His reminiscences start in that period, from when he was five years old. MRW himself divided his memoir into periods which I have followed in this tribute (see also Hornung and Warburg 2014 ).…”

“…A major source for this tribute was MRW’s own well organized memoir and publication list. My thanks go to the family, especially Hava and Sharon who supplied me with additional information about his life, sent photos of him and who encouraged me in the process of writing ( Hornung and Warburg 2014 ).…”
