French marine biologist
Jean Vacelet is a French marine biologist who specialises in the underwater fauna of the Mediterranean.
[1] After earning his licence at the
Faculté des Sciences de Marseille and learning to dive in 1954, he specialised in the study of sponges at the
Marine station of Endoume , and there he has stayed faithful to both sponges and place for more than half a century. His research has included all aspects of sponges: taxonomy, habitat, biology, anatomy, their bacterial associations, and their place in the evolution of multi-celled animals. He has studied them not only in the Mediterranean but in the Indian Ocean and the Pacific. Exploration of underwater grottoes,
[2] together with
Jacques Laborel and Jo Hamelin, revealed the existence of sponges dating from very ancient geological periods and the unexpected existence of carnivorous sponges,
[3]
[4] and surprisingly, the grottoes in some ways mimicked life at much greater depths.
[5]
He earned one doctorate in 1958 and his doctorat ès-sciences, under Professor Claude Lévi
[6] in 1964.
[7]
He, together with other colleagues, has written definitive works on
Porifera (sponges),
[8]
[3]
[9]
[10]
[11] in addition to his many specific works on carnivorous sponges.
[12]
[13]
[14]
[15] And again with many colleagues, is responsible for the World Porifera Database (accessed via the
World Register of Marine Species . (See e.g.
Acanthella dendyi )
[16]
He continues his researches on sponges
[17] at Endoume as emeritus professor.
