生物野外站的重要性

今后，从生物化学到生态学的生物学研究将在野外台站进行。这些原因是科学史上固有的。卡尔·冯·弗里施曾经观察到，蜜蜂就像一口神奇的井：你从它身上汲取的越多，就有越多的东西可以汲取。这是一个多方面的真理。坐在实验室的工作台上，对外面的大自然视而不见，一个人可以把一生的时间都花在昆虫的触角上，仍然可以为科学做出巨大的贡献。昆虫的感觉器、信息素、皇家浆、咽侧体和色觉实际上都是生产性研究的主题，这些研究几乎充斥着有关的期刊和教科书。
future a much larger share of research on biology, from biochemistry to ecology, will be conducted at field stations. The reasons are inherent in the history of the science. Karl von Frisch once observed that the honeybee is like a magic well: The more you draw from it, the more there is to draw. This is a truth with many facets. Sitting 4gainst a laboratory bench oblivious to nature outside, one could devote a lifetime to the antennae of the insect alone and still make great contributions to science. Antennal sensilla, pheromones, royal jelly, corpora allata, and color vision are in fact among the subjects of productive research that fill journals and textbooks concerned almost ex-
