Louis Joubin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Louis Marie Adolphe Olivier Édouard Joubin (27 January 1861 in Épinal- 24 April 1935) was a professor at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle in Paris. He published works on nemerteans, chaetognatha, cephalopods, and other molluscs.[1]

He served as an assistant to Henri de Lacaze-Duthiers, subsequently becoming director of the laboratories at Banyuls-sur-Mer (1882) and Roscoff (1884). Later, he became an instructor at the University of Rennes,[2] and in 1903 succeeded Edmond Perrier as chaire des mollusques, des vers et des zoophytes at the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle (from 1917 onward his title was chaire des mollusques).[3] In 1906 he was chosen by Albert I, Prince of Monaco to be in charge of instruction at the Institut océanographique.[2]

In 1905 he was named president of the Société zoologique de France. In 1920 he became a member of the Académie des Sciences.[2]

Joubin's Squid (Joubiniteuthis portieri) is named for him,[4] as is Scolymastra joubini, an hexactinellid sponge whose lifespan is purportedly 10,000 years.[5]
