Kees Moeliker Biography

Kees Moeliker is one of the most popular and richest Biologist who was born on October 9, 1960 in Rotterdam, Rotterdam, Kingdom of the Netherlands. Cornelis W. “Kees” Moeliker (born 9 October 1960) is a Dutch biologist and director of the Natural History Museum Rotterdam. He is also European Bureau Chief of the Annals of Improbable Research.

He won the 2003 Ig Nobel Prize for biology for his study of homosexual necrophilia in male mallards.

Moeliker has written two books, in Dutch: De eendenman [The Duck Guy] (2009) and De Bilnaad van de Teek [The Butt Crack of the Tick] (2012), which was voted “best science book of the year” by the newspaper de Volkskrant that year.

He was nominated in 2013 for the Edgar Doncker Prize in recognition of his outstanding contribution to the Rotterdam Natural History Museum and to conservation more generally.

In 1991, together with Kees Heij, he discovered a Black-chinned monarch (Monarcha boanensis), a bird that had been thought extinct, on the island of Boano, in the Indonesian province of Maluku. A subsequent Moeliker rediscovery, in 2001, involved the Waigeo brush-turkey (Aepypodius bruijnii) he identified in Waigeo Island, West Papua. With Erwin J.O. Kompanje, Moeliker identified and described a subspecies of Long-tongued nectar bat (Macroglossus minimus booensis), of which the known habitat is restricted to the little Island of Boo in the east of Indonesia.

Moeliker’s father worked for forty years as a technical illustrator for the (subsequently superseded) Dutch post office. Kees himself was provided with education at the Pieter Caland School in Rotterdam. During this time he used to wander across the nature reserves in the Rotterdam area. On one of his walks, in 1973, he made the first ever recorded observation in the area of an Egyptian Nile goose (Alopochen aegyptiacus).

He went on to study biology and geography at a teacher training institution in Delft. He graduated with a research project on the winter-season feeding ecology of the Long eared owl (Asio otus). The research later provided the basis for a section in his 1989 compilation, “Owls” (“Uilen”). Moeliker also collaborated on the research led by the high-profile Biology/Ornithology Professor Kees Heij, undertaken at the Free University (Amsterdam) into the population ecology of the House Sparrow (Passer domesticus) in Rotterdam.

Amongst his work for the Natural History Museum Rotterdam, Moeliker preserved the Domino Day 2005 sparrow, a protected species of house sparrow that was shot and killed by a hunter after it knocked down a large domino display in Leeuwarden. The bird was stuffed and is now mounted on a box of dominos.
