	William Morton Wheeler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wheeler was trained as an insect embryologist, having studied under Baur, Dohrn and Whitman, but became the leading authority on behaviour of social insects, achieving particular renown for his studies of social behaviour of ants.
		Professor Wheeler was curator of invertebrate zoology in the American Museum of Natural History, New York, from 1903 to 1908.
		Donisthorpe and Wheeler also frequently exchanged specimens, leading the latter to first develop the idea that the Formicinae subfamily had its origins in North America.

	Guide to the George C. Wheeler Correspondence, Scrapbook, and Biology Lecture and Laboratory Notes, 1915-1957
		When Wheeler completed his undergraduate work at the Rice Institute in 1918, he enlisted in the army and was sent to the Yale Army Laboratory School.
		Wheeler kept in touch with three of his undergraduate professors from the Rice Institute - Huxley, Muller and Davies - during and well after his graduation.
		In this scrapbook, Wheeler kept photographs of the biology staff, field trips and the campus, as well as newspaper and magazine clippings and memorabilia from social events.

		Half a century after Virchow, entomologist William Morton Wheeler was observing the lives of ants.
		Wheeler saw the tiny beasts maintaining constant contact, greeting each other as they passed on their walkways, swapping bits of regurgitated food, adopting social roles that ranged from warrior or royal handmaiden to garbage handler and file clerk.
		Wheeler was the man who dubbed a group of individuals collectively acting like one beast a superorganism.

	Bibliographic Essays: Life Sciences in the Twentieth Century
		Of the many biologists who have worked to establish the field of ethology in the twentieth century, only two have received biographical or historical treatment: William Morton Wheeler (1865-1937) and Konrad Lorenz (1903-).
		Wheeler's pioneering work with ant social organization and behavior was instrumental in establishing ethology as a significant and serious branch of modern biology.
		His biography by Mary Alice Evans and Howard Ensign Evans, William Morton Wheeler, Biologist (Cambridge, Mass.: Harvard Univ. Press, 1970), is a rich source of information about, the history not only of ethology but of many other aspects of twentieth-century biology.

	Holistic Darwinism
		Wheeler (1927) also promoted the idea of "emergent evolution," and he borrowed from Spencer the idea that a socially-organized group can be likened to a "superorganism" (Wheeler 1928) (see below).
		However, Williams also took an extreme position, from which he has since retreated, to the effect that selection at any higher level than that of an individual is essentially "impotent" and is "not an appreciable factor in evolution" (1966:8; cf., Williams 1992).
		Particular note should be made of anthropologist William Durham's (1991) dualistic gene-culture "coevolution" paradigm, which directs our attention to the partially independent nature of human cultural evolution, even as it recognizes its interdependency with biological constraints and influences, and the interactions between the two evolutionary modes.

		The collection was founded in 1908, when William Morton Wheeler came to Harvard from the American Museum of Natural History.
		Wheeler described many new genera and species, and obtained many types from important European researchers, chiefly Forel, Emery, and Santschi.
		His work on the collection began in 1927, when, as a graduate student, he was given a job as an assistant to begin the enormous job of making the insect fossil collection accessible to researchers.

		After Bowdoin, Kinsey did graduate work at Harvard under the celebrated entomologist William Morton Wheeler.
		Wheeler collected ants (his vast collection preceded Kinsey's into the Agassiz Museum); Kinsey took up gall wasps: small winged but usually terrestrial insects that bore holes into roses, flberries, goldenrods and oaks and deposit eggs whose larvae secrete a chemical that stimulates the plants to grow swellings called galls, on which the pupae then feed.

	Future Positive : Welcome (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Peter A. Corning, Ph.D. The so-called "organismic analogy," which has graced social and political theory (off and on) ever since Plato, has reemerged in evolutionary biology in recent years as a way of characterizing key properties of social organization in the natural world - although the preferred moniker these days is Herbert Spencer's term "superorganism".
		(Biologists often give credit to one of their own, William Morton Wheeler, but Wheeler's writings appeared several decades later.)
		As Spencer himself argued, the organismic analogy is justified by the existence of common functional properties at "higher levels" of biological organization, including especially "functional differentiation" and "integration" with respect to overarching, collective goals or objectives; there is a functional commonality between organisms and superorganisms.

	Lefalophodon: Annotated Bibliography
		An entomologist well-known in his day, Wheeler was productive and erudite, if not much of an evolutionary theorist.
		Only a section on the spontaneous generation controversy deals directly with evolution, but the very lack of evolutionary research in late 19th century France is directly tied to Pasteur's leadership, so if you want to understand that subject start here.
		A deceptively small and witty book that devolves into a tedious account of evolution's impact in the 19th century.
