Erwin Hentschel (zoologist)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Erwin J. Hentschel (* 1934 in Nieder-Mohrau , Czechoslovakia ) is a German biologist , zoologist , conservationist and university lecturer who became known as a bee professor .

Life

E. Hentschel began studying botany and zoology at the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (1953–1956, Vordiplom) and continued it at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in zoology, physiology , hydrobiology and history of biology and Medicine continued until graduation (1956–1959, diploma). This was followed by a study of human anatomy (1961–1963), the doctorate to become Dr. rer. nat. (1964), the Facultas docendi for animal physiology (1970), the habilitation (1980) and the appointment as full professor for "special and applied zoology" at the University of Greifswald (1988). From 1989 to 1997, when he returned to the Alma mater Jenensis, he set up the " Apidology and Applied Zoology" at the Institute for Nutritional Sciences at Am Steiger 3.

Research topics

His research topics include cardiac physiology in crustaceans ( daphnids ) and insects , peptide neurosecretion in Artemia salina , Chirocephalus grubei and Argulus foliaceus , the peptide-amine interaction of gonadotropin secretion and ovulation in Periplaneta americana and Blaberus craniifer as well as studies on pain behavior in insects.

With the establishment of the bee institute, August Ludwig (1867–1951) carried out environmental analysis studies with the honey bee Apis mellifera in the former uranium mine in Ronneburg / Thür. (Radionuclide diagnostics, together with the University of Marburg ) and in the former brown coal tar area near Rositz / Thür. (Diagnosis of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons ) carried out. Next under were foulbrood studies in Apis mellifera with larvae Paenibacillus subspec. larvae, in cooperation with U. Gräfe / Hans-Knöll-Institut (HKI), the antibiotic apidiothricin isolated and structurally elucidated.
