Born May 12, 1931, to Victoria and Hugh McClelland in Bushey, England, he attended public school at Gresham in Norfolk, Cambridge, and the University of London School of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, where he was awarded his doctoral degree in medical entomology in 1962.
He joined the department of entomology at UC Davis in 1963 as an assistant professor, and advanced through his career to professor of entomology in 1975, until retiring in 1994. In 1969, he was honored by the United Nations to serve in the World Health Organization in Tanzania, Africa, as director of the East Africa Aedes Research Institute.
Prior to his career at UC Davis, he worked as a scientific officer for the East Africa High Commission E.A. Virus Research Institute in Uganda, East Africa, and was a postdoctoral research fellow in the department of biology at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana. As a faculty member at UC Davis, he pursued a research program that emphasized population ecology and genetics of mosquitoes.
His research broadly related to the interaction of mosquitoes with their environment and to the disciplines of ecology, ethology and genetics. During reviews of his research, colleagues called his contributions, "innovative, meticulous, scholarly and contemporary." He published more than 80 articles and wrote a book on medical entomology, which was widely used all over the United States.
His colleagues remember his interest and devotion to teaching as an extraordinary contribution to the University of California, and to the many students his courses and innovative teaching touched. He was one of the first people to integrate art, culture and insect natural history into a course for undergraduates. This fusion of art and science was ahead of its time and tremendously successful.
His course Insects and Human Affairs routinely drew enrollments exceeding 200 students. Students frequently praised his organization, course content and his personable, clear teaching style. His colleagues honored his achievements with several nominations for teaching awards. One such nomination said, "Our department views Professor McClelland as the consummate teacher. We feel that he sets the standard by which all courses taught here at Davis should be judged."
He was married to Patricia McClelland for 16 years. He later married Elizabeth Loebilich. After they divorced, he married SueDee McClelland.
In 1994 he and SueDee moved to the small town of Clio, in Plumas County in the Sierra Nevada mountains. There, he created an English garden. He found it a challenge to find plants to bloom from March to November at an altitude of 4, 400 feet. His garden was admired by residents and tourists.
During his retirement, he traveled extensively to the tropics at least once each year. He also took up watercolor painting. His subject matter included scenes in Africa and other places he had traveled. His last five paintings were of his daughter, Alison, his son, Hugh, and his two younger daughters, Alekka and Stassi.
His last painting was of his wife, SueDee, standing in a pastoral English scene, completed the day before he died.
In November of 2003, he and his wife moved to the University Retirement Community in Davis. He spent the year compiling his memoir and completing a detailed genealogy for his family.
His wife said he loved life and lived it to the fullest to the last day.
He is survived by his wife of 16 years, SueDee McClelland of Davis, four children and four grandchildren.
At his request, there will be no memorial service.
In lieu of flowers, he requested that donations be sent to Horses Unlimited, P.O. Box 30164, Cromberg, CA 96103. The nonprofit organization provides therapeutic horse riding lessons for handicapped children. He served on the board of directors for this organization from 1997 to 2003.
