Launcelot Harrison
Launcelot Harrison (13 July 1880 – 20 February 1928) was an Australian zoologist, entomologist and NSW rugby union player who held the Challis Chair in Zoology from 1922 until his untimely death from a cerebral haemorrhage.[1][2][3] He married writer Amy Mack on 29 February 1908.[4] His 1915 study found that host and parasite body sizes tended to positively co-vary; this finding was dubbed Harrison's rule.[5]
During World War I he served as an advising entomologist (ranked Lieutenant) to the British Expeditionary Force in Mesopotamia.[6]
His students included Claire Weekes, the first woman to earn a doctorate at the University of Sydney.[citation needed]
