‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Troisième édition ---- "Van Beneden went to Paris to study zoology intending to become a professor of zoology at Belgium. Since other professors had already been appointed to these chairs, he accepted the post of professor of zoology at the newly created Catholic University of Louvain on April 1835. Van Beneden's contribution to zoology concern most animal phyla and are characterized by the importance given to embryology in the recognition of systematic affinities. He was a naturalist whose curiosity extended to the broadest spectrum of animal species. His main contribution, however, was the discovery of the life cycle of the cestodes...".
