Arthur Shipley war ein englischer Zoologe, der für seine akribische Untersuchung von Parasitenwürmern bekannt wurde, eine Spezialisierung, die ihm die Mitgliedschaft in der Royal Society einbrachte. Er widmete seine Karriere der akademischen Laufbahn in Cambridge, wo er verschiedene Positionen innehatte, vom Demonstrator für vergleichende Anatomie bis zum Dozenten für Zoologie, und schließlich Master des Christ's College wurde. Sein umfangreiches Lehr- und Publikationswerk prägte die zoologische Ausbildung, wie sein einflussreiches Universitätslehrbuch beweist. Über seine wissenschaftlichen Beiträge hinaus setzte sich Shipley aktiv für die Förderung der wissenschaftlichen Bildung und des Verständnisses durch seine populärwissenschaftlichen Schriften und seine internationale Öffentlichkeitsarbeit ein.
