Description of Pictures: Lecture by E.O. Wilson, Biologist, Naturalist, Writer, Professor and Environmentalist
One of the world’s greatest biologists, E.O. Wilson has won two Pulitzer Prizes for his pioneering books, “The Ants” and “On Human Nature.” Professor emeritus and honorary curator in entomology at Harvard University, Wilson played a key role in the development of the new field of chemical ecology in the 1950s and 60s. With several collaborators he discovered much of the pheromone language of ants, and with William H. Bossert of Harvard University, he created the first general theory of properties of chemical communication. Because all plants and microorganisms, as well as the vast majority of animals, communicate primarily or entirely by pheromones, the importance of this work is considerable. His lecture focuses on his two recently published books, “The Leafcutter Ants: Civilization By Instinct” (W. W. Norton) and “Kingdom of the Ants: José Celestino Mutis and the Dawn of American Natural History” (Johns Hopkins University Press). The former is an exhaustive study of everything known about these amazing ants; the latter, the initial study of leafcutter ants in the New World by the first scientific natural historian, José Celestino Mutis, who worked in Colombia in the 1700s.
Introduced by Cristián Samper, Director, National Museum of Natural History. A book signing of E.O. Wilson’s two recent books follows the lecture.

See the [Creative Commons] definition of what this means. "Photos (c) Bruce Guthrie" is fine for attribution. (Commercial use folks including AI scrapers can of course contact me.) Feel free to use in publications and pages with attribution but you don't have permission to sell the photos themselves. A free copy of any printed publication using any photographs is requested.

I love well-behaved spiders! They are, in fact, how most people find my site. Unfortunately, my network has a limited bandwidth and pictures take up bandwidth. Spiders ask for lots and lots of pages and chew up lots and lots of bandwidth which slows things down considerably for regular folk. To counter this, you'll see all the text on the page but the images are being suppressed. Also, some system options like merges are being blocked for you.
Note: Permission is NOT granted for spiders, robots, etc to use the site for AI-generation purposes. I'm sure you're thrilled by your ability to make revenue from my work but there's nothing in that for my human users or for me.
If you are in fact human, please email me at guthrie.bruce@gmail.com and I can check if your designation was made in error. Given your number of hits, that's unlikely but what the hell.
