}}Dr. '''Marston Bates''' ([[July 23]], [[1906]] – [[April 3]], [[1974]]) was an [[United States|American]] [[zoologist]]. Bates studies on [[mosquito]]es contributed to the understanding of the [[epidemiology]] of [[yellow fever]] in northern [[South America]], and he was the author of many popular science books. He was married to Nancy Bell Fairchild, daughter of the botanist [[David Fairchild]]; thus he married into the [[Fairchild family]], descendants of Thomas Fairchild of [[Stratford, Connecticut|Stratford]], [[Connecticut]].
In 1960, he published The Forest and the Sea, a hugely influential book on the then-new science of ecology.
