Edwin Perry Martin

Edwin Perry Martin is credited as the author of A Population Study of the Prairie Vole (Microtus ochrogaster) in Northeastern Kansas), a study published by the University of Kansas in 1956 and later preserved by Project Gutenberg. The work focuses on prairie vole populations, habitat, behavior, reproduction, and survival, showing a strong grounding in zoology and field observation.

Book listings also attribute another scientific work to him, Effects of Sex Hormones on Erythrocyte Number and Hemoglobin Concentration of White Leghorn Chickens, which points to a broader research interest in animal biology. Reliable biographical details beyond his name and scientific publications were not easy to confirm from the sources I found, so this overview stays close to the record that is clearly documented.

For listeners, Martin’s appeal lies in the precision of his curiosity: his writing preserves the close-up, patient style of classic natural-history research, where everyday animal life becomes a subject worth watching with real care.
