Frank A. von Hippel, Ph.D. (1996) in Integrative Biology, University of California, Berkeley, is Associate Professor of Biological Sciences at the University of Alaska Anchorage. He has published extensively in the fields of evolution, animal behavior, ecology and ecotoxicology, using the stickleback as a model system.

"The collection illustrates the rapid development of this field from ethology or Tierpsychologie towards up-to-date behavioural ecology and its manifold sub-areas. ... [It] is a book which has been on my desk since I bought it and every now and then I start reading it again, finding new interesting stuff from 60 years of stickleback research. ... Of course at a first glance this book appears to be most interesting for people working on sticklebacks and other fish model systems to whom I highly recommend it. I am, however, sure that readers with a more general interest in the course of behavioural research during the last 60 years will also not regret obtaining this nice anthology."- J. G. Frommen, University of Bern, in: Journal of Fish Biology (2011) vol. 79, pp. 310–311"Frank Von Hippel has collected a number of research milestones in stickleback research [which] represent key moments in the science of animal behaviour. ... For current researchers in animal behaviour, this book provides a fascinating overview of the history of the discipline and the journey it has taken from its beginnings in the middle of the last century to the present day."- Ashley Ward, University of Sydney, in: Fish and Fisheries (2011) vol. 12, pp. 120–121"... [T[hose interested in learning more about the major scientists in stickleback research and the history of this model organism will find this book a useful read."- Kate L. Laskowski, Eric R.
