Frederik Leck Fischer

 Frederik graduated from The University of Copenhagen, and his thesis was on crab spider vision and sensory capabilities in the European species Ozyptila praticola and Xysticus cristatus under supervision from the spider taxonomist Nikolaj Scharff, and Sensory physiologist Anders Garm. Nikolaj is doing major revision-work on Arkys species, and Taxonomy of Australasian Malkaridae.

He wrote his bachelor thesis on the taxonomy of Stenopelmatoidea orthopterans, which included many Australian taxa (King crickets, Cooloola monsters and similar).
