   Born 369 years ago, Maria Sibylla Merian was an exceptional woman for her times. A naturalist and artist par excellence, she studied the relatively ignored area of insect metamorphosis, drawing intensely detailed and accurate portraits of insects feeding on host plants at different stages of their life cycle. In 1699, she travelled fromHolland to Surinam, spending two years there, and returned with material for a large volume on tropical insects and plants. In recent times, there has been a great resurgence of interest in Merian’s work. Read less

   Zusammenfassung Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717) erlangte als Insekten‐ und Blumen‐Malerin zu Lebzeiten europaweit Ruhm, obwohl sie als geschiedene, alleinerziehende Mutter in einer von Männern dominierten Welt mit Vorurteilen konfrontiert war. In diesem Beitrag werden Leben und Werk dieser in Frankfurt/Main geborenen Entomologin basierend auf einer Analyse ihrer Fachbücher im Zusammenhang mit den Leistungen von Darwin, Wallace, Haeckel und Weismann vorgestellt. Merian hat an 186 Insekten‐ und einigen Amphibien‐Arten den gesamten Lebenszyklus dokumentiert beziehungsweise gezeichnet, und damit die Aristoteles'sche Urzeugungs‐Hypothese wiederlegt. Da Merian erstmals Tier‐Pflanzen‐Interaktionen studiert hat, sollten wir sie zum 300. Todestag (13.01.2017) als Pionierin der Entwicklungsbiologie und Ökologie würdigen. Summary Maria Sibylla Merian (1647–1717): Pioneer of developmental biology and ecology Maria Sibylla Merian was an extraordinary women who transformed not only the art of scientific illustration, but also made substantial contributions to the emerging discipline of organismic biology. Like Darwin, Wallace, Haeckel and Weismann, Merian developed her skills for scientific observation (butterflies, moths) and drawing (animals, plants) at an early age, and became, despite being a divorced single mother, famous in a male‐dominated German‐Dutch society. Here, her neglected achievements as pioneer of developmental biology and ecology (animal‐plant‐interactions) are described, with a focus on Merian's elucidation of the life cycles of 186 insect species and that of several amphibians. Based on her experimental results, summarized in three published monographs, Merian refuted the Aristotelian idea of ”spontaneous generation“. Three hundred years after her death (13. Jan. 2017), we should appreciate Merian's outstanding scientific discoveries and biological insights. Maria Sibylla Merian (1647 – 1717) Die deutsch‐niederländische Künstlerin und Insektenforscherin Maria Sibylla Merian starb, völlig verarmt, vor 300 Jahren in Amsterdam. Eine Analyse der Originalwerke dieser genialen Frau zeigt, dass Merian – über ihre entomo logischen Leistungen hinaus – auch für ihre Verdienste in der Entwicklungsbiologie und der Ökologie gewürdigt werden sollte.
