  Nikolaas Tinbergen Summary
Nikolaas Tinbergen, a zoologist, animal psychologist, and pioneer in the field of ethology (the study of the behavior of animals in relation to their habitat), is most well known for his studies of stimulus-response processes in wasps, fishes, and gulls.
Nikolaas Tinbergen was born April 15, 1907, in The Hague, Netherlands.
Tinbergen is widely recognized for his studies of behavioral patterns and the individual environmental triggers, or "releasers," that cause specific actions in organisms.

Nikolaas "Niko" Tinbergen (April 15, 1907 – December 21, 1988) was a Dutch ethologist and ornithologist who shared the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine with Karl von Frisch and Konrad Lorenz for their discoveries concerning organization and elicitation of individual and social behaviour patterns in animals.
Born in The Hague, Netherlands, he is also noted as the brother of Jan Tinbergen, who won the first Bank of Sweden Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel.
Tinbergen's experience as a prisoner of the Nazis led to some friction with longtime intellectual collaborator Konrad Lorenz, and it was several years before the two reconciled.

 Superb Biography of a Great Pioneer by Iver Mysterud
This is a profound biography of the eminent ethologist and Nobel Laureate Nikolaas Tinbergen (1907-1988).
Tinbergen has been one of my scientific heroes for many years, with his brilliant focus on the four whys, his emphasis on the importance of observation and naturalistic studies, his all-time classic "The Study of Instinct", and his many inspiring field experiments, such as the egg shell removal in fl-headed gulls (an antipredator tactic).
Tinbergen was superb as a communicator, both in print and orally, and he was an excellent photographer and film maker in the area of animal behavior.

 Psychology History
Tinbergen explained their working relationship as, "Konrad's extraordinary vision and enthusiasm were supplemented and fertilized by my critical sense, my inclination to think his ideas through, and my irrepressible urge to check our 'hunches' by experimentation" (Tinbergen, 1975).
Tinbergen spent the later years of his life using ethological methods to study the socially important disease, Early Childhood Autism, with his wife and Professor Jerome S. Butler.
Tinbergen is famous for his in depth, field, and laboratory research and the way in which he tediously examined all of the information to verify theories.

Known to a generation of awed students as a tireless stalker of gulls on windswept cliffs, Tinbergen is a master experimenter who has found ingenious ways to test his own and others' hypotheses.
After many tedious years of studying the stickleback fish, he was able to delineate its patterns of fighting and courtship: the male builds an elaborate nest of water plants and lunges fiercely at any rival male that dares to enter its newly claimed territory.
Tinbergen was able to prove that this behavior was rigidly instinctual.
