Robert E. Page, Jr. (born 12 November 1949) is one of the foremost honey bee geneticists in the world and a Foundation Chair of Life Sciences and Provost of Arizona State University. An author of more than 230 research papers and articles, his work on the self-organizing regulatory networks of honey bees has been outlined in his book, "The Spirit of the Hive: The Mechanisms of Social Evolution,"〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Robert E. Page Jr.: The Spirit of the Hive: The Mechanisms of Social Evolution )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Entomology: The apian way )〕 published by Harvard University Press in 2013. ==Biography and Education== Page was born in Bakersfield, CA and spent his childhood there until he attended high school in Porterville, California. He served in the U.S. Army from 1969-1972. With support from the G.I. Bill, he received his undergraduate degree in entomology, with a minor in chemistry, from San Jose State University in 1976. He was awarded his Ph.D. in entomology from University of California-Davis in 1980. He began his career as an assistant professor in the Department of Entomology with The Ohio State University in 1986, moving to the University of California-Davis in 1989, where he became chair for UC-Davis's Department of Entomology in 1999. He joined Arizona State University (ASU) in 2004 as founding director of ASU's School of Life Sciences,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page Hired as Founding Director of ASU's New School of Life Sciences )〕 one of the first interdisciplinary academic units developed under President Michael Crow's vision of the "New American University."〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A New American University )〕 His background is in behavior and population genetics and the focus of his current research is on the evolution of complex social behavior. Using the honey bee as a model, Professor Page has dissected bee's complex foraging division of labor at all levels of biological organization - from gene networks to complex social interactions. An internationally recognized scholar, he has published more than 230 research papers and articles. In 2005, he was listed as an ISI's Highly Cited author in plant and animal science - representing the top ½ percent of publishing researchers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Highly Cited Research from Thomson Reuters )〕 He served as provost of Arizona State University (2013-2015),〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page named university provost )〕 and vice provost and dean of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the largest college in the university (2011-2013).〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Page appointed dean of College of Liberal Arts and Sciences )〕 During this period he forged a platform to accelerate ASU’s transdisciplinary collaboration in the U.S. and Europe, advance educational reform, and jumpstart cutting-edge "virtual" learning formats.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=ASU launches global classroom, challenges traditional learning )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A Global Classroom for International Sustainability Education )〕 He also established ASU's Honey Bee Research Facility. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert E.
