E. O. Wilson Quotes About Study

• La biología es una ciencia de tres dimensiones. La primera es el estudio de cada especie en todos los niveles de organización biológica, de la molécula a la célula, del organismo a la población y al ecosistema. La segunda dimensión es la diversidad de todas las especies de la biosfera. La tercera dimensión es la historia de cada especie a su vez, que comprende tanto su evolución genética como el cambio ambiental que impulsó la evolución. La biología, al crecer en las tres dimensiones, avanza hacia la unificación y seguirá haciéndolo.

• Most people are surprised when they hear my somber figures: we know of 2 million species of plants, animals and microorganisms, and we can give them each a scientific name and a diagnostic description. We know, perhaps generously, more than just a little bit of the anatomy in no more than 10 percent. We have done thorough studies in fewer than one-tenth of 1 percent. And the total number of species on Earth is unknown to the nearest order of magnitude.

• It was inspiring to learn of the new Bachelor of Environmental Studies Program, and I congratulate you for it. Singapore is geographically in the right central position for an influence in Asia and Australia, and NUS has the reputation and academic strength to make it effective.

• Biodiversity is the totality of all inherited variation in the life forms of Earth, of which we are one species. We study and save it to our great benefit. We ignore and degrade it to our great peril.

• The students of biodiversity, the ones we most need in science today, have an enormous task ahead of molecular biology and the medical scientists. Studying model species is a great idea, but we need to combine that with biodiversity studies and have those properly supported because of the contribution they can make to conservation biology, to agrobiology, to the attainment of a sustainable world.

• There are millions and millions of species, including organisms most people have never heard of. There is so much that waits to be told. We don't know the functions of most of them, but they may be more vital for the planet's future sustainability than we can even dream. And we have to find out; we need to be doing this sort of study.
