Введение
Шведский палеонтолог
Prof Erik Helge Osvald Stensiö HFRSE (2 October 1891 – 11 January 1984), née Andersson, was an influential Swedish paleozoologist and founder of the so called "Stockholm School"
He received his Ph. D. and a docentship in paleontology from Uppsala University in 1921 and became professor and keeper at the Zoopaleontological (later called the Paleozoological) department of the Swedish Museum of Natural History in Stockholm in 1923, a position he held until his retirement in 1959. Stensiö specialized in the anatomy and evolution of "lower" vertebrates. His studies of placoderms showed them to be related to modern sharks (though, now, placoderms are considered to be the sister group of all jawed vertebrates, in addition to sharks). His first major work, Triassic fishes from Spitzbergen (part I: Vienna 1921; part II: Stockholm 1925), was based on material collected during his expeditions to Spitzbergen in 1912, 1913, 1915 and 1916. For his work, The Downtonian and Devonian Vertebrates of Spitzbergen, Part I, Stensiö was awarded the Daniel Giraud Elliot Medal from the National Academy of Sciences in 1926. In 1917 he changed his name from Andersson to Stensiö, adopting the name of his home town. He founded the so called "Stockholm School" in paleozoology, continued notably by his successors in the professorship, Erik Jarvik and Tor Ørvig. Stensiö was a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences from 1927 and was elected a Foreign Member of the Royal Society in 1946. He received the Wollaston Medal in 1953, and the Linnean Medal of the Linnean Society of London in 1957. He was awarded the Linnean Society of London's prestigious Darwin Wallace Medal in 1958. He died on 11 January 1984 at the Danderyd Hospital in Stockholm.
Профессор Эрик Хельге Освальд Стенсио HFRSE (2 октября 1891 – 11 января 1984), урождённый Андерссон, был влиятельным шведским палеозоологом и основателем так называемой "Стокгольмской школы". Он получил степень доктора философии и должность доцента по палеонтологии в Уппсальском университете в 1921 году и стал профессором и хранителем зоопалеонтологического (позже названного палеозоологическим) отдела Шведского музея естественной истории в Стокгольме в 1923 году, занимая эту должность до выхода на пенсию в 1959 году. Стенсио специализировался на анатомии и эволюции "низших" позвоночных. Его исследования плакодерм показали их родство с современными акулами (хотя в настоящее время плакодермы рассматриваются как сестринская группа всех челюстных позвоночных, помимо акул). Его первая крупная работа, "Триасовые рыбы со Шпицбергена" (часть I: Вена, 1921; часть II: Стокгольм, 1925), была основана на материалах, собранных во время его экспедиций на Шпицберген в 1912, 1913, 1915 и 1916 годах. За работу "Доунтонские и девонские позвоночные Шпицбергена, часть I" Стенсио был удостоен медали Дэниела Жиро Эллиота Национальной академии наук в 1926 году. В 1917 году он сменил фамилию с Андерссона на Стенсио, взяв название своего родного города. Он основал так называемую "Стокгольмскую школу" в палеозоологии, которую продолжили его преемники на кафедре, Эрик Ярвик и Тор Эрвиг. Стенсио был членом Королевской шведской академии наук с 1927 года и был избран иностранным членом Королевского общества в 1946 году. Он получил медаль Уолластона в 1953 году и медаль Линнеевского общества Лондона в 1957 году. В 1958 году он был награжден престижной медалью Дарвина-Уоллеса Лондонского линеанского общества. Он скончался 11 января 1984 года в больнице Дандерюд в Стокгольме.
