Ann Haven Morgan

Ann Haven Morgan (born "Anna" May 6, 1882 – June 5, 1966) was an American zoologist and ecologist.

Biography One of three children of Stanley G. Morgan and Julia A. Douglass Morgan, Anna Morgan was born in Waterford, Connecticut and attended Williams Memorial Institute in New London, Connecticut. In 1902, Anna joined Wellesley College then transferred to Cornell University. After receiving a B.A in 1906, she worked as an assistant and instructor for the Mount Holyoke College department of zoology until 1909. At Cornell University, she was awarded a Ph.D. in 1912 with a dissertation titled, A Contribution to the Biology of the May-fly,

Her research and instruction focused on limnology, animal hibernation, and ecological and environmental issues. During WWII, Morgan started studying ecosystems of the great lakes in Massachusetts. Within this research, she concluded that conservation of these environments would directly lead to more food for humans during wartime, as the protection of fish and their habitats leads to more fish for humans to eat. She authored three books on zoology. The 1933 edition of American Men of Science listed her along with two other women among the 250 total entries.
