Alfred G. Mayer

Alfred Goldsborough Mayor born Mayer (April 16, 1868 – June 24, 1922) was an American physicist, marine biologist and zoologist, whose fascination with medusae (jellyfish) while working with Alexander Agassiz marked a turning point in his career, which shifted from physics to biology.

He applied mathematics and physics to biology and took an interest in the formation of color patterns in animals.
