William FALCONER

 
     
 

     Nació en Wihtley Chapel, Hexhamshire, Horthumberland (Inglaterra), el 20 de noviembre de 1862. Profesor en el St. Bede's College en Durham en 1882, más tarde completó sus estudios, bajo los auspicios del Ministerio de Educación. Se retiró a Liverpool donde vive y trabaja hoy en día (1939). Estuvo especialmente dedicado a las ciencias naturales a las que consagra el resto de su larga vida. Miembro de la Unión Naturalista de Yorkshire desde 1909, en la que fue presidente en 1927 y añade las nuevas secciones de Arácnidos, Plantas y Agallas en las actividades de esta Sociedad. Corresponsal de la Sociedad entomológica de Londres desde 1919, perteneciendo durante varios años en la junta directiva del Comité de Fauna de Lancashire y Cheshire.

 
     
 

     Sus investigaciones se centran en los Arácnidos (Araneae, Opiliones, Pseudoscorpiones y Ácaros), que comienza a estudiar en 1895. Con respecto a las arañas, realizó numerosas listas de captura provenientes de las capturas hechas en Inglaterra, sobre todo en Northumberland, Yorkshire y Lancashire, pese a sus listas de fauna, no pierde el interés, por los problemas del origen de esta fauna, su distribución geográfica y su relación con la comunidad.
