Göte Turesson



Göte Wilhelm Turesson (April 6 1892 - December 301970) was a Swedish evolutionary botanist who made significant contributions to ecological genetics, and coined the terms ecotype and agamospecies.

Turesson was born in Malmö, Sweden. He completed his initial science studies in the United States at the University of Washington, graduating B. S. in 1914 and M. S. in 1915. He returned to Sweden, receiving his PhD from the University of Lund in 1922. He was a lecturer at Lund until 1927, eventually taking a position at the Agricultural College at Ultuna outside Uppsala (since 1977 the main campus of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences) where he remained from 1935 to 1959.
