Odo Morannal Reuter (28 April 1850 – 2 September 1913) was a Swedo-Finnish zoologist and poet.
Early life[edit]
He was born in Åbo on 28 April 1850, and died there on 2 September 1913.[1] Reuter became a student at the University of Helsinki in 1867. He gained his master's degree in 1873, followed by a doctorate in 1877, when he became an associate professor of zoology.[1][2]
Career[edit]
Reuter was a hemipterist, a specialist in mirid plant bugs, becoming the world's leading expert in this group at his time.[3] He coined the term "parasitoid" to describe the way of life of species such as many wasps which feed on but do not immediately kill their prey.[4][1]
Later life[edit]
He formally retired in 1910 due to long-term health problems. His enthusiasm remained, and in 1911, despite his blindness, he published Nattens sånger (Night's Songs) describing the experiences of his latter years.[1] He died on 2 September 1913 in Turku.
