Wilson, a U.S. naturalist dubbed the "modern-day Darwin" died on Sunday at the age 92 in Massachusetts, his foundation said in a statement.
Wilson was also a world authority on ants, of which he discovered more than 400 species. He wrote two Pulitzer Prize-winning books and popularized the term "biodiversity". The Harvard University scientist had been living in a retirement community in the northeastern United States and had recently published the latest in a long series of books on biodiversity.

A truly great and gracious scientist. He worked to make science accessible.
