Abstract

Herein, a recognition to Juan José Morrone is presented, whose great career, dedication to various branches of evolutionarybiology and contributions to different zoological groups have left an indelible mark on the history of science inMexico. To date, Dr. Morrone has had a great history of publications, including more than 300 scientific works, 35 booksthat are undoubtedly a reference and a threshold for any course dealing with systematics, biogeography or comparativebiology. His great work as researcher does not diminish his work as a teacher, as he has taught 130 courses at differentlevels of education and gave 120 conferences in Mexico as well as in Latin America. In this work I try to summarize hisgreat career and the impact that his ideas have had worldwide. In addition, I present excerpts from an interview in which we discussed some issues such as his literary influences, his way of working and his way of tackling different problems during scientific work.
