Roger Anthony Beaver (born 1936) is a biologist who has worked at University College of North Wales,[1] Chiang Mai University,[2] the University of Zambia[3] and the University of the South Pacific.[4] He has published several important papers on Nepenthes infauna, including "Fauna and food webs of pitcher plants in West Malaysia" (1979), "The communities living in Nepenthes pitcher plants: fauna and food webs" (1983), and "Geographical variation in food web structure in Nepenthes pitcher plants" (1985). The species Cryptoxilos beaveri was named in his honour.[5]
