Arthur Shipley fu uno zoologo inglese rinomato per il suo meticoloso studio dei vermi parassiti, una specializzazione che gli valse l'ammissione alla Royal Society. Dedicò la sua carriera all'ambito accademico a Cambridge, ricoprendo diverse posizioni, da dimostratore di anatomia comparata a lettore di zoologia, fino a diventare Master del Christ's College. La sua vasta eredità di insegnamento e pubblicazione plasmò l'educazione zoologica, come dimostra il suo influente libro di testo universitario. Oltre ai suoi contributi scientifici, Shipley promosse attivamente l'alfabetizzazione e la comprensione scientifica attraverso i suoi scritti divulgativi e il suo impegno internazionale.
