1999 Pioneer Lecture Honoree
Dr. George N. Wolcott

George Norton Wolcott (1889-1965)

George Norton Wolcott was born in Yorkville, New York, on July 12th 1889, the son of David Clinton Wolcott and Marion Delia Denedict. He was married in Utica, NY, on April 21st, 1919, to Magdalen Hall, daughter of Davis Hall-Ames, a merchant from Utica. He and his wife had three children: Ann, married to Edgard Rafael-Martínez a resident of Rio Piedras, David Ames and Oliver. Wolcott died in Barneveld, NY on October 20th, 1965.

Wolcott did his primary education at Yorkville and Utica, NY, and obtained his Bachelor of Arts, Masters in Agriculture and Ph.D. in Entomology at Cornell University. He received a research scholarship from the University of Illinois during 1916 to 1917. During the summers while in school, he worked as a sales person at the Utica Daily Press, and as a field worker on farms in Wanspsville, NY, Riverhead, NY, and Manilus, NY.

His career as an entomologist started in 1910 as an agent with the "Negociado de Entomología del Departamento de Agricultura Federal" (Entomology Office of the Federal Agriculture Department). He was assigned initially to the cotton boll weevil laboratory in Dallas, Texas and then did field and laboratory work with the Department of Agriculture in the southern U.S and Cuba. He studied the cotton boll weevil, several tobacco pests, tick biology and photography.

After a variety of jobs and research projects in Illinois and other parts of the United States, he traveled by boat to Puerto Rico where he worked at the "Estación Experimental de la Asosiación de Productores de Azúcar" (Experimental Station of the Sugar Producer Association). He was soon promoted from Assistant Entomologist to Associate Entomologist and, during the same year, to Entomologist. He was also appointed to the Puerto Rican Agricultural Board.

Wolcott traveled to Venezuela, Trinidad, Barbados and other places in the Caribbean and, in 1914, he was named Director of the Department of Entomology of the "Estación Experimental Insular" of Rio Piedras (Insular Experimental Station), a position that he kept until 1916. Still Director Entomologist, he continued doing research on insects important to the country’s agriculture, including studies on the effect of rain, and the lack of waste treatment after harvest on populations of Diatraea saccharalis. In 1916 he returned to the United States and joined a training camp for civil service officials in Plattsburgh, NY. In the summer of 1917, he was again sent to Texas by the federal government to study the cotton boll weevil. That same year, he joined the military service as a recruit to serve in the First World War, stationed in Fort Hamilton, NY. The next year, he was sent to France with the Headquarters Company, 5th Regiment, Coast Artillery Corps and participated in the offensive against Saint Michel and Meuse-Agronne. He returned to the U.S. after his tour of duty in the Army ended in 1919.

Wolcott relocated to Puerto Rico and conducted research on vectors of sugar cane mosaic virus with the "Negociado de Entomología del Departamento de Agricultura Federal" (Entomology Office of the Federal Agriculture Department). In 1920, he accepted the position of Entomologist at the "Estación Experimental de Haina" (Haina Experimental Station) in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. When he arrived in Santo Domingo, he realized that the "Estación Experimental de Haina" (Haina Experimental Station) had not been constructed and he went back to Puerto Rico, returning to his previous position with the "Estación Experimental Insular". He continued his research on the sugar cane mosaic virus, and also worked with coffee pests, cotton boll weevil, termites and many other pests.

In 1924 he left his position in Puerto Rico to become an entomologist with the Agricultural Technical Service in Haiti, where he stayed until 1928. In Haiti, his efforts were dedicated to teaching and training Haitians in activities such as the safe use of pesticides. He also did field research on diseases of pineapple in several other Caribbean Islands and beach grape in Venezuela.

Dr. Wolcott approached his work in a disciplined, simple, capable fashion, as much in the field as in the laboratory, facilitating intelligent comprehension of the problems of agricultural entomology. Examples of his ability in research and education were demonstrated in Haiti. His disciples included Marcel Dartiguenave, Adonis Muller, Emanuel Ducasse, Andre Audant, Alphonse Noel, Auguste Daumer, and Ernest Guedy. His "Entomologie d’Haiti" (1927) is of this period, published in Port au Prince by the Technical Service and profusely illustrated with drawings by Fritz Maximilien (an ex-student of the Agriculture School), employed as an assistant by the Technical Service.

In 1928-1929 he traveled to Peru, where he worked as an entomologist in the "Estación Experimental De la Sociedad Agrícola" (Agricultural Society Experimental Station) of Lima. He studied the cotton leaf stainer, sugar cane aphid, sugar cane mosaic virus and the local parasitoids of Diatraea. In 1929, he returned to his home at Barneveld, NY, were he dedicated his time to writing until 1931, when he accepted the position of Entomologist at the "Subestación de Isabela del Departamento de Agricultura" (Isabela Substation of the Department of Agriculture) in Puerto Rico to study the diseases and pests of vegetable crops, especially the lima bean borer.

In 1932, he returned to Rio Piedras as Director of Entomology of the Experimental Station, a position that he kept until his retirement in 1956. He continued his work on insects of agricultural importance, including scale insects and coffee ants. During this period, he traveled to South America, Haiti and many other areas to study and collect parasitoids that could be used as natural controls for pest insects, among them, wasps of the genus Larra, to control the mole cricket.

During the first five years after his return to Rio Piedras, he dedicated significant time to evaluating parasitism by Trichogramma on Diatraea saccharalis in sugar cane fields and using augmentative release of Trichogramma. He also studied termites, eventually becoming a renowned authority in their control, and accumulated a considerable amount of knowledge about the susceptibility of termite attack to different types of wood. These studies consisted of testing several types of chemicals that repelled termites.

His work on the classification of tropical insects set the stage for other entomological studies in Puerto Rico, fulfilling his goal of protecting sugar cane against pests. He wrote and illustrated several books with original drawings. His most important works are: "Entomologie d’Haiti", "An Economic Entomology of the West Indies", "Insectae Portoricensis", "Insectae Boriquensis, "Insects of Puerto Rico" and "Entomología Económica Puertorriqueña".

His Doctoral thesis, "An Animal Census in Pastures and Meadows in Northern New York" was published in 1937 in Ecological Monographs. His published work on tropical entomology, including 205 papers as author or co-author, appeared in the Journal of Economic Entomology, Bulletin of Entomological Research, American Naturalist, The Caribbean Forester, Science, and Journal of Agriculture of the University of Puerto Rico. Among his works are the hierarchy of lumber from the Antilles in the order of its resistance to woodborers and the use of phenol as a compound that provides protection against woodborers. There are also several publications on topics such as mycetophagous ants. In addition he wrote several book reviews and for some time assisted in preparation of Biological Abstracts. His works have not yet been completely published.

He was a member of the American Association for the Advancement of Science, the Entomological Society of America, the American Society of Agriculture Sciences, the American Association of Economic Entomologists, the Ecological Society of America, the Washington Entomological Society and the National Society of Descendants of Henry Wolcott.

In 1933, Wolcott revived The Entomological Society of Puerto Rico and presided over the society between 1933 and 1938. His influence upon the development of Puerto Rican entomology extends to the present, especially through "The Insects of Puerto Rico".

1999 Pioneer Lecturer
Pauline Lawrence

Dr. Pauline O. Lawrence received her M.S. in 1972 and her Ph.D. in 1975 from the University of Florida, Gainesville, with a Major in Entomology and Minor in Plant Pathology. In 1968 she obtained a B.Sc. with Honors from the University of the West Indies, Jamaica, majoring in Zoology with Minors in Chemistry and Botany.

She joined the University of Florida faculty in 1976 as an Assistant Professor of Zoology in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, was promoted to Associate Professor in 1981 and Professor in 1989. She was a Visiting Professor in the Department of Entomology, Cornell University, Ithaca, New York from 1984-85. From 1994 to the present she has been a Professor of Biochemistry and Physiology in the Department of Entomology and Nematology at the University of Florida.

Professor Lawrence has taught graduate courses in Host Selection of Parasitic Arthropods, Invertebrate Physiology and Parasite Behavior as well as undergraduate courses in Parasitology, Cell Biology, Ecology and Behavior, and Parasitic Diseases to General Biology and Honors students. Her teaching was recognized with an Excellence in Teaching Award from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, University of Florida in 1988.

Since 1976 Dr. Lawrence has served as mentor and advisor to numerous undergraduate students at the University of Florida and has fostered their participation in research, publication of scientific results and other educational enhancement activities. Her efforts were recognized with her election as a member of the Danforth Foundation (1978-86) and more recently, with a Distinguished Faculty Award from the Florida Blue Key, a student-run service organization at the University of Florida. Her service to the University of Florida has also been recognized with a 1997 Outstanding Leadership Award from the Board of Directors of the University of Florida Athletic Association.

Dr. Lawrence is best known for her research in insect host-parasitoid (parasite) interactions, particularly those of the Caribbean fruit fly, Anastrepha suspensa and its parasitic wasp, Diachasmimorpha longicaudata. Her research has evolved over the years from the study of fruit fly and parasite behavior to endocrinology and biochemistry, investigating the influence of insect molting hormones (ecdysteroids) on the wasp’s larval development. She developed an in vitro system to demonstrate that the parasite larva cannot molt without the ecdysteroids of its fruit fly host. She also discovered two previously undescribed viruses in female wasps, one of which (a poxvirus) destroys the fruit fly’s cellular defenses, and facilitates the development of the wasp. Her laboratory is using state-of-the-art molecular and biochemical approaches to characterize the genome of the poxvirus and decipher its mechanism for disrupting the host’s defenses. She has also identified a unique protein induced in the fruit fly by the poxvirus. Both virus and protein are under investigation in her laboratory, as potential biorational agents for fruit fly control.

In a separate area of research, Dr. Lawrence, in collaboration with colleagues in Honolulu, seeks to develop a Caribbean fruit fly strain of an egg-pupal parasitic wasp, Fopius arisanus, which is a successful parasite of the Mediterranean fruit fly.

Dr. Lawrence has received several national competitive grants to support her research and presented invited lectures at many national and international scientific meetings and symposia.

In recognition of her research, she received in 1989 a National Science Foundation Career Advancement Award for Women and in 1993, a University of Florida Research Achievement Award. She has edited two volumes and published abstracts, book chapters and refereed journal articles on the toxicology, behavior, physiology and molecular biology of beneficial insects, such as the green lacewing and parasitic wasps of tephritid fruit flies.

Dr. Lawrence has been active at the national level, serving on many advisory and grant review panels at the National Science Foundation, U. S. Department of Agriculture and U. S. Agency for International Development. Within the Entomological Society of America (ESA), she has served as Secretary and Chair of her section on Physiology, Biochemistry, Molecular Biology and Toxicology, as a member of the Governing Board and the International Affairs Committee. She has also chaired and organized symposia and contributed paper sessions at meetings of the ESA, International Congress of Entomology and Society for In Vitro Biology.

She is a member of Phi Beta Kappa (a national honor society), the Board of Directors of the University of Florida Foundation and the Editorial Board of the Archives of Insect Biochemistry and Physiology.

Dr. Lawrence was listed in American Men and Women of Science (1982) and is a member of the following professional Societies: The American Association for the Advancement of Science, Entomological Society of America, Florida Entomological Society, Sigma Xi Scientific Society, Society for Invertebrate Pathology and Society for In Vitro Biology.

She has received awards for her service to non-profit organizations, such as the Women of Distinction in Alachua County from Santa Fe Community College, Gainesville, Florida in 1991 and the Women of Achievement Award from the Gateway Girl Scout Council of Florida and Continental Cablevision in 1992.
