BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Born 1956 in Brussels, Belgium. Studied in Johannesburg 1971-1985 and completed PhD with Robin Crewe (University of the Witwatersrand). Post-docs in Sydney (Ross Crozier), Nagoya (Yoshiaki Ito) and Würzburg (Bert Hölldobler). Research Scientist with CNRS (French National Scientific Research Agency) in Paris, France from 1991 until his death in 2020.

Dr. Peeters was an energetic, enthusiastic and well-liked myrmecologist. He was an avid field researcher, traveling the world in pursuit of finding answers to any number of questions that were on his mind at any given time. His field adventures were also exploratory. To find new ants he had not seen before, and observe and learn all he could about ant diversity and biology. Christian's unbounded curiosity, coupled with his vast knowledge of ant biology and general brilliance, are part of what made him a productive and insightful scientist. His curiosity also extended to those around him. Christian always had time to talk about science, and life, with any ant researcher he met. He wanted to know all about what any and all ant biologists he met were working on. These conversations would invariably leave one feeling better about themselves and their own work. Those that knew him, either through crossing paths with him a time or two or that knew him well, felt their life was enriched by their time spent with him. You can learn more about his work, friendly nature, love of life and people, and positive influence on his peers and friends by reading some reflections written-up here and here.
