In 1982, while still an undergraduate, I had the privilege of meeting and becoming a student of Professor Willis. From that point on I have had the good fortune to follow and admire his dedication and enthusiasm that he applied to his ornithological studies. For Professor Willis, even taking a moment to observe the day-to-day lives of the commonest birds was cause for great personal satisfaction, that is, he was always interested and always felt that he had something to learn about these fascinating animals. This obsession started very early in his backyard in and around his home in Russellville, Alabama in the United States. As a boy he did not stop at simply watching birds, but always took care to write about his observations. Such precocity and seriousness with which he executed these first studies resulted, at the tender age of just 14, in his first publication on the group (Fa ll field trip to St. Francis Sanctuary. Maryland Birdlife 5: 66, 1949), clear evidence of his vocation for these studies which would continue throughout his life. On this journey his training began with a degree in Biology from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (1956); then an MSc in Zoology from the University of Louisiana (1958); a doctorate in zoology from the University of California - Berkeley (1964) and postdoctoral position at the American Museum of Natural History (1966). The period he spent collecting data for his MSc thesis “The for aging behavior of ant- Edwin O. Willis during an interview for the "Ciência Hoje" magazine. Photo from Y.

Later, his research would take him to countries vidua) which were subject to his seminal studies. such as Panama, Trinidad, Guyana, Colombia, Ecuador, It is important to note that his work on army ant Peru, in addition to many studies in Brazil, particularly in followers was not his only research avenue.

Basically, he returned to Brazil and became professor at the if there existed places where birds follow army ants, Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) in Rio Claro. Professor Willis was there to investigate and clarify the At UNESP he devoted himself to these and other studies nature of these interesting relationships and he became a until he retired in 2005, but this did not mark the end global authority on the subject. His name is honored in of his career in science, which he continued through the the English common name of Cercomacra laeta – Willis’s Instituto de Estudos da Natureza founded by him and his Antbird and in the generic name Willisornis, which is wife; the renowned researcher Dr. Yoshika Oniki Willis. applied to two species – Common Scale-backed Antbird His work on land-use change was not confined to forest Obituary: Dr. Edwin O’Neill Willis (1935-2015) José Ragusa-Netto remnants in São Paulo, but also extended north to Bahia research spent away from home.

Abstract

Revista Brasileira de Ornitologia, 23(2), 79-86 IN MEMORIAM June 2015 1,2 José Ragusa-Netto Departamento de Ciências Naturais, Campus Três Lagoas, Universidade Federal do Mato Grosso do Sul, Av. Ranulpho Marques Leal, 3484, CP 210, CEP 79610-100, Fone/Fax: 67 35093746/35093700; Três Lagoas, MS, Brazil. Corresponding author: jragusanetto@yahoo.com A citizen and a professional without peer. In 1982, while still an undergraduate, I had the privilege of meeting and becoming a student of Professor Willis. From that point on I have had the good fortune to follow and admire his dedication and enthusiasm that he applied to his ornithological studies. For Professor Willis, even taking a moment to observe the day-to-day lives of the commonest birds was cause for great personal satisfaction, that is, he was always interested and always felt that he had something to learn about these fascinating animals. This obsession started very early in his backyard in and around his home in Russellville, Alabama in the United States. As a boy he did not stop at simply watching birds, but always took care to write about his observations. Such precocity and seriousness with which he executed these first studies resulted, at the tender age of just 14, in his first publication on the group (Fa ll field trip to St. Francis Sanctuary. Maryland Birdlife 5: 66, 1949), clear evidence of his vocation for these studies which would continue throughout his life. On this journey his training began with a degree in Biology from the Virginia Polytechnic Institute (1956); then an MSc in Zoology from the University of Louisiana (1958); a doctorate in zoology from the University of California - Berkeley (1964) and postdoctoral position at the American Museum of Natural History (1966). The period he spent collecting data for his MSc thesis “The for aging behavior of ant- Edwin O. Willis during an interview for the "Ciência Hoje" magazine. Photo from Y.

Later, his research would take him to countries vidua) which were subject to his seminal studies. such as Panama, Trinidad, Guyana, Colombia, Ecuador, It is important to note that his work on army ant Peru, in addition to many studies in Brazil, particularly in followers was not his only research avenue.

Basically, he returned to Brazil and became professor at the if there existed places where birds follow army ants, Universidade Estadual Paulista (UNESP) in Rio Claro. Professor Willis was there to investigate and clarify the At UNESP he devoted himself to these and other studies nature of these interesting relationships and he became a until he retired in 2005, but this did not mark the end global authority on the subject. His name is honored in of his career in science, which he continued through the the English common name of Cercomacra laeta – Willis’s Instituto de Estudos da Natureza founded by him and his Antbird and in the generic name Willisornis, which is wife; the renowned researcher Dr. Yoshika Oniki Willis. applied to two species – Common Scale-backed Antbird His work on land-use change was not confined to forest Obituary: Dr. Edwin O’Neill Willis (1935-2015) José Ragusa-Netto remnants in São Paulo, but also extended north to Bahia research spent away from home.
