Edward Orlando Wiley III is the curator emeritus of ichthyology at the University of Kansas Biodiversity Institute and professor of systematics and evolution for the Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology at the University of Kansas.^{[1] [2]} His master's adviser was Darrell Hall, of Sam Houston State University (retired), and his doctoral advisor was Donn E. Rosen, of the American Museum of Natural History (deceased).^[3] Wiley has published extensively in topics related to phylogenetic systematics, is a Past President of the Society of Systematic Biology (then Zoology) and was involved in the founding of the Willi Hennig Society.^[4] Wiley is known for building on and establishing conceptual advances in the evolutionary species concept, first formulated by George Gaylord Simpson.^[5] Wiley defines an evolutionary species as:

"A species is a lineage of ancestral descendant populations which maintains its identity from other such lineages and which has its own evolutionary tendencies and historical fate."^[6]

Wiley received the Robert H. Gibbs Jr. Memorial Award for Excellence in Systematic Ichthyology from the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists in 2004 for his work on the evolution of fishes.^[7]
