Other research, for which he was equally noted, was in invertebrate physiology, coral physiology, and gastropod and bivalve filter-feeding. His first visit to Australia was a leader of the Great Barrier Reef Expedition 1928 - 1929, which was centred on the Low Isles. Most members of the Expedition were British: they were joined for varying periods by leading Australian scientists such as Gilbert Whitley and Tom Iredale. The success of this Expedition established Yonge's reputation as a leading marine zoologist. After his return to Britain, he was for 20 years Regius Professor of Zoology at the University of Glasgow. Yonge made a number of later visits to Australia in support of other Reef expeditions. In 1975 he opened the opened the Australian Museum's Lizard Island Research Station. Three years later he returned to the Low Isles, noting the degradation that had occurred over the previous 50 years. Yonge's personal library of several 1000 items relating to marine subjects (particularly malacology) was donated to Australian Institute of Marine Science 1982: it was transferred in 2016 to the James Cook University library. The Yonge Reef was named in his honour.19221922Education - Bachelor of Science (BSc), University of Edinburgh19221924Career position - Baxter Natural Science Scholar, University of Edinburgh19241924Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), University of Edinburgh19241925Career position - Carnegie Research Scholar19251927Career position - Temporary Assistant Naturalist, Marine Biological Association, Plymouth, United Kingdom19271927Education - Doctor of Science (DSc), University of Edinburgh19271929Career position - Balfour Student, University of Cambridge19281929Career position - Leader, Great Barrier Reef Expedition19301932Career position - Physiologist, Marine Biological Association, Plymouth, United Kingdom19331934Career position - Professor of Zoology, University of Bristol, United Kingdom19441964Career position - Regius Professor of Zoology, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom19451986Award - Fellow, Royal Society of Edinburgh (FRSE)19461986Award - Fellow, The Royal Society, London (FRS)19531956Career position - Vice-President, Royal Society of Edinburgh19541954Award - Companion of the Order of the British Empire (CBE)19571957Award - Makdougall-Brisbane Prize, Royal Society of Edinburgh19611961Career position - President, Section D, British Association for the Advancement of Science19651970Career position - Research Fellow in Zoology, University of Glasgow, United Kingdom19671967Life event - Visited Australia to review Great Barrier Reef with Thomas Goreau19671967Award - Knight Bachelor (Kt)19681968Award - Darwin Medal, Royal Society of London19691970Career position - Vice-President, Royal Society of Edinburgh19701973Career position - President, Royal Society of Edinburgh19711971Award - Honorary doctorate, Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, United Kingdom19731973Life event - Visited Australia in support of the Royal Society and University of Queensland expedition to the Reef19751975Life event - Opened the Australian Museum's Lizard Island Research Station19781978Life event - Revisited the Low Isles Reef
