罗伯特(鲍勃)肯特·特伦奇教授的研究生涯将互利共生研究的多个学科结合在一起,这对于理解后生动物和原生动物的生理、生态和共同进化至关重要,其中许多对地球生物圈有益。通过互补技术的发展和使用,他率先发现了“植物”和动物之间代谢耦合相互作用的重要发现。他在伯利兹(原英属洪都拉斯)长大,他的学术之旅始于岛国牙买加的西印度群岛大学学院,然后进入加州大学洛杉矶分校(美国);牛津大学(英国);耶鲁大学(美国康涅狄格州)。他是加州大学圣巴巴拉分校生态、进化和海洋生物系的长期教员(图1a-f)。在他的一生中(1940年8月3日至2021年4月27日),他认识到许多被认为是事实的事情往往是积累起来的教条。他对科学方法的直接应用最终帮助改变了这些误解。通过解构既定的“信念”,他极大地提高了我们对几种互惠共生的理解,他几十年前发表的许多见解和假设至今仍处于激烈研究的前沿。
Professor Robert (Bob) Kent Trench’s research career brought together multiple disciplines in the study of mutualistic symbioses that are crucial to understanding the physiology, ecology, and co-evolution of metazoan and protist associations, many of which are beneficial to the Earth’s biosphere. Through the development and use of complementary techniques, he pioneered important discoveries about metabolically coupled interactions between “plants” and animals. Having grown up in Belize (formerly British Honduras), his journey in academia started at the University College of the West Indies (UCWI) on the island nation of Jamaica, then proceeded to the University of California, Los Angeles (USA); Oxford University (UK); and Yale University (Connecticut, USA). He was a longtime faculty member in the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Marine Biology at the University of California, Santa Barbara (Figs. 1a–f).Over the course of his life (August 3 1940–April 27 2021), he recognized that many things presented as fact were often accumulated dogma. His direct application of the scientific method ultimately helped to change these misconceptions. By deconstructing established ‘beliefs,’he greatly improved our understanding of several mutualistic symbioses, and many of his insights and hypotheses published decades ago remain at the forefront of intense investigation to this day.
