Rainer Rosengren
Один из пионеров в исследовании муравьев, Рэйнер Розенгрен скончался 4-го февраля, за несколько месяцев до его 70-го дня рождения. Работы Розенгрена, были сосредоточены рыжих лесных and his work on route fidelity, visual memory and recruitment behaviour in these ants has gained much attention among students of social insects. A lesser known part of his literary production concerns humans as biological creatures. In this vein he wrote several essays on ethology and evolutionary biology in a true Darwinian spirit during the 1960s. These essays build on a Lorenzian tradition and picture him as a persuasive writer eager to engage in debates. Indeed, these essays brought into focus issues that later were championed by E.O. Wilson and set off the sociobiology controversy.
Большую часть своей научной карьеры он работал в Хельсинском Университете (Helsinki University) на Кафедре Зоологии, позже переименованной к Кафедру Экологии и Систематики (Department of Ecology and Systematics), where he held a position as a lecturer. В 1999 году за его научные достижения Президент Финляндии присвоил ему звание Профессора.
His own work centered on red wood ants in the Formica group, and his interest in these ants began long before he began his studies at the university. Despite his strong focus on social insects, he had an extremely broad interest in all issues related to evolutionary biology. Being a broadly educated person, he also was an inspiring teacher. Consequently he attracted a number of gifted students who were not afraid to tackle also difficult problems. The research topics encompassed orientation, memory and diurnal rhythms as well as reproductive allocation and sex ratio studies. В сотрудничестве с Pekka Pamilo он издал несколько оригинальных статей по репродуктивной биологии муравьев Formica, и был среди первых, кто использовал генетические маркеры в оценке структуры семьи колонии и структуры населения этих муравьев. В статье, изданной уже в 1983 вместе с Pamilo в Acta Entomologica Fennica он выделил многие из идей и концепций, которые должны были стать центральными в работах по социальным насекомым десятилетие спустя. Эта статья была посвящена изучению полигинии и полидомии.
Розенгрен выступил катализаторм многих идей и исследований муравьев и других общественных насекомых в Финляндии. Без его инициативы и вдохновения мирмекология в Финляндии возможно и не существовала бы. Среди его первых диссертантов PhD был Pekka Pamilo, теперь международно признанный специалист. During the 1990s he was actively participating in several research projects. Most of his efforts he devoted to experimental work on learning and memory in ants, but also several projects on the genetic population structure of Formica polyctena and Formica rufa were on his agenda.

Из более недавних литературных вкладов Розенгрена надо отметить эссе о взаимоотношениях финского философа Edward Westermarck с Ч.Дарвиным. Это эссе им было написано несколько ле назад, но до сих пор все ещё не опубликовано. It uniquely captures Rosengren's scientific qualities, including his perpetual willingness to learn new concepts, to adopt new methods and to question conventional wisdom. This attitude, combined with an exceptionally broad general education, a kind understanding of all things human and a wonderful sense of humour made him a truly inspiring colleague and dear friend. His multifaceted character and interests were perhaps best captured by the literature he had on his bedside when he died - The Book of Job and a 500 page manual for advanced statistics.
