Dr. Ernest Marcus (1893-1968)

Dr. Ernest Marcus was a well accomplished German malacologist who did much of his research out the University of São Paulo, Brazil. He was a prolific writer who published on a wide range of topics in marine biology, with an emphasis on American Opisthobranchs. He often published with his wife, Eveline du Bois Reymond Marcus; their names are sometimes abbreviated as E. & E. Marcus, or Er. and Ev. Marcus (for Ernest and Eveline, respectively).

Relevant to the biota of the Gulf of Mexico, Ernest Marcus has published the following:
