摘要

“让我们看看一些摇尾虫吧!”当小伦纳德·“伦”·c·费林顿博士带着兴奋的微笑走进实验室时,他的许多学生都听到了这句话。无论是在显微镜下还是在野外,伦恩对手摇器研究的热情都是有感染力的。每当一个学生来到他的办公室,描述一个新的或独特的观察结果,或者一个未知的蠓,他总是放下手头的工作,去检查一下,并提供他的意见。一旦他看到这些发现,他会给你一个热情而会心的微笑,然后经常描述他也做过类似观察或发现过同样的蠓的地方。通常,与Len的任何互动都会延伸到一些生态学或分类学主题的扩展讨论和未来研究的想法。他总是有新的想法可以贡献,当然也没有退休的计划(“我为什么要做那个?!”)这是一个常见的回答)。不幸的是,莱恩于2021年9月11日在明尼苏达州兰斯伯勒附近的鲁特河步道上骑自行车时意外去世。

Leonard C. Ferrington, Jr. (1948-2021): Chironomid cognoscente and modern-day Renaissance man
“Let’s look at some chironomids!” Many of Dr. Leonard “Len” C. Ferrington Jr.’s students heard this phrase as he walked into the lab with an excited smile on his face. Len’s enthusiasm for chironomid research whether it be time at the microscope or out in the field was infectious. Whenever a student came to his office describing a new or unique observation or an unknown midge, he would always drop what he was doing to check it out and provide his input. Once he saw these discoveries, he would give you an enthusiastic, but knowing smile and then often describe the localities where he had also made a similar observation or found the same midge. Usually, any interaction with Len would branch out into an extended discussion of some ecological or taxonomic topic and ideas for future research. He always had new ideas to contribute, and certainly had no plans to retire (“Why would I want to do that?!” was a common response when asked). Sadly, Len passed away unexpectedly, on September 11, 2021, while bicycling on the Root River Trail, near Lanesboro, Minnesota.
