Ferdinand Albert Pax (30 December 1885 – 11 September 1964[1]) was a German zoologist who worked at the University of Wroclaw.
He worked at the Zoological Station in Trieste in 1906 under Carl Isidor Cori (1865-1954) and then at the University of Bergen where he specialized in marine biology under Adolf Appellöf (1857-1921).
[1] During the second world war, the German military force occupied Wrocław and used the Zoological Museum.
To make space they threw away 3200 bird skins from the Kollibay Collection which had been purchased in 1920 for 35000 Marks.
On December 20, 1945, the Biological Station and the private home of the Pax family in the Glatzer mountains were burned down by unknown persons.
