Harald Krebs is an internationally renowned music theorist. In his writings, he sheds light on neglected repertoires, such as the songs of 19th-century female composers and the late music of Robert Schumann. Particularly influential is his model of musical meter, created primarily for analysis of 17th- to 19th-century tonal music, but subsequently employed by numerous music theorists in the explication of diverse recent musics, including jazz, rock and techno.
Harald Krebs est un théoricien de la musique, renommé internationalement. Dans ses écrits, il éclaire des répertoires négligés, tels que les Lieder des compositrices du dix-neuvième siècle et les dernières œuvres de Robert Schumann. Particulièrement influent est son modèle du mètre musical, créé principalement pour l’analyse de la musique des 17e, 18e et 19e siècles, mais par la suite utilisé par nombreux théoriciens pour l’explication de diverses musiques plus récentes, comprenant jazz, rock, et techno.

Charles J. Krebs is an international authority on the population dynamics of small mammals, which, at successive stages of his career, he has studied in the Eastern Arctic, England, California, Indiana, British Columbia, and the Yukon. Although small mammals are his specialty, Dr Krebs is well acquainted with the general population literature on plants and animals, and has written an outstandingly good text-book, now in its second edition. The principal thrust of the book is that ecological problems are unlikely to be solved until descriptions are followed up by experiments.

Dr. Jarmila Kukalova-Peck
Affiliation: Carleton University
[contact]
Dr. Jarmila Kukalova-Peck is an outstanding invertebrate palaeo-biologist and evolutionist, and multiple origin of insect metamorphosis. Her analysis of Palaeozoic fossils has revealed archalic leg structure underlying insect mouthparts and genitalia. Her conclusions have profoundly influenced the modern interpretation of insect phylogeny and evolution. Her discovery of accessory branches, or exites, on trunk limbs of fossil flying insects and of primitive wing articulations, led to her new theory that the wings of insects were formed from the accessory branches on the first leg segments rather than from the solid lateral outgrowths of dorsal skeleton. Moreover, the wings of insects are homologous and monophyletic, not derived several times independently. Finally, her phylogenetic classification of winged insects based on wing venation and articulation replaces previous unreliable systems.
