Vladimir Aleksandrovich Wagner (or Vagner: Russian: Владимир Александрович Вагнер; March 29, 1849 – March 8, 1934) was a Russian psychologist and naturalist known for his studies of comparative and evolutionary psychology.[1][2][3] He also studied spiders, and in 1882 proposed the first classification of spider families based on copulatory organs.[4] His friend Anton Chekhov was inspired to write the novella, "The Duel", based on discussions with Wagner.[5][6]
