Schmitz is known for his extensive natural history studies, both on the island of Madeira, where he described the Madeiran Wood Pigeon and Zino's Petrel as well as studying the local ants, and in Palestine.
The German ornithologist Ernst Schmitz lived on the island of Madeira by 1896-1906, a time when the Madeiran Wood Pigeon was already rare.
