Abstract
William Morton Wheeler (1865–1937) was among the greatest experts on ants and his influence on the field of sociobiology, along with that of his academic grandson E.O. Wilson, is second to none. In 1923, Wheeler published his landmark book “Social Life Among the Insects” (Wheeler in Social Life among the Insects, Haracourt, Brace, New York, 1923), which marked the beginning of the modern study of insect societies. In this centenary year of its publication, we are honoured and proud to pay tribute to William Morton Wheeler.
威廉-莫顿-惠勒（William Morton Wheeler，1865-1937 年）是研究蚂蚁的最伟大的专家之一，他和他的学术孙子 E.O. 威尔逊对社会生物学领域的影响首屈一指。1923 年，惠勒出版了具有里程碑意义的著作《昆虫的社会生活》（Wheeler in Social Life among the Insects, Haracourt, Brace, New York, 1923），标志着现代昆虫社会研究的开端。值此《昆虫社会生活》出版一百周年之际，我们非常荣幸和自豪地向威廉-莫顿-惠勒致敬。
