Otto Philipp Maas (born 30 July 1867 Mannheim; † 17 March 1916 Munich)[1] was a German zoologist and university professor of evolutionary history.
Life
Maas studied zoology and medicine at the universities of Munich, Strasbourg, and Berlin, and received his doctorate in 1890 with a thesis on the development of the freshwater sponge. In 1894, he became a professor of zoology and evolutionary history[2] at the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich. In 1902, he was promoted to associate professor in Munich, and in 1908, he was given a paid personal teaching position in comparative and experimental evolutionary history,[3][4] as well as a teaching position in general zoology at the Royal Bavarian Academy of Agriculture and Brewing in Weihenstephan. In addition to the general and experimental history of animal development,[3][5][6] Maas was mainly concerned with the research into cnidarians and in this area was the first to describe the umbrella jellyfish Nausithoe albatrossi (Maas, 1897)[7] and the hydrozoa Euphysora bigelowi - now Corymorpha bigelowi (Maas, 1905),[8] which he named in honor of the US zoologist Henry Bryant Bigelow.
On 8 March 1906 Maas was admitted as a member of the Imperial Leopoldine-Carolinian German Academy of Natural Scientists[9] under the registration number 3208 in the Zoology and Anatomy section.
