What is E.O. Wilson known for?

Answered in E.O. Wilson's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

I am primarily known for my extensive work on ants, which led me to establish the field of sociobiology. My research explored the biological basis of social behavior across many species. I also co-authored 'The Theory of Island Biogeography,' a foundational concept in ecology, and became a passionate advocate for biodiversity conservation, which I believe is essential for the planet's health.
