| dc.description.abstract | Edward O. Wilson was introduced to the natural world early in life while living in his native South, near the Gulf of Mexico. His fascination with studying ants, snakes, and other small creatures led to a highly successful career as a prominent scientist and naturalist. Wilson's research and studies in evolutionary biology, entomology, sociobiology, and biogeography produced new insights and exquisite detailed information on how the natural world works. A citation analysis of Wilson's books and research articles shows the enormous impact and reach of his ideas and research in the academic and environmental communities. Wilson's work also informed others who have curiosity for nature and ants in particular. Through programs by the E.O. Wilson Biodiversity Foundation and in other ways, Wilson has advanced awareness about the condition and plight of the natural world. Wilson's numerous achievements are recognized and acclaimed worldwide. | en_US |
