Abstract
The research career of Justin O. Schmidt (1947–2023) is reviewed and assessed. The pioneering nature of his research lay in treating the defensive means and tactics of aculeate hymenoptera and some arachnids as features of their overall anti-predator strategies. He devised methods for comparing the effects of hymenopteran venoms and stings that challenged the assumed correlation between venom potency and the pain that it induces.
对贾斯汀-施密特(Justin O. Schmidt,1947-2023 年)的研究生涯进行了回顾和评估。他的研究具有开创性,将微小膜翅目昆虫和一些蛛形纲昆虫的防御手段和策略视为其整体反捕食策略的特征。他设计了比较膜翅目昆虫毒液和蜇伤效果的方法,对假定的毒液效力和毒液引起的疼痛之间的相关性提出了挑战。
