Françoise Ardré
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
French phycologist and marine scientist, Mrs. Françoise Ardré (born in 1931), is honored as the namesake of the red alga known as Pterosiphonia ardreana[1]
After she held a Doctorate in Sciences, Mrs. Ardré was in charge of the phycology department of the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris. She also conducted research programs in Portugal, in Spain (Cadaqués) and in France (Ile d'Yeu), among another locations. Able to dive in apnea without wetsuit in the cold water of the ocean, she fetched, discovered and collected herself the new seaweeds she studied.
Her most well known published literary work is Contribution à l'étude des Algues Marines du Portugal I: La Flore (English: Contribution to the Study of the Marine Algas of Portugal I: Flora).
