As a result, apart from Dobzhansky, Bernhard Rensch and Ernst Mayr, very few neo-Darwinian writers used the term, preferring instead to talk of evolution as changes in allele frequencies without mention of the level of the changes ( above species level or below ).
Those who did were generally working within the continental European traditions ( as Dobzhansky, Ernst Mayr, Bernhard Rensch, Richard Goldschmidt, and Otto Schindewolf were ) and those who didn't were generally working within the Anglo-American tradition ( such as John Maynard Smith and Richard Dawkins ).
Hence, use of the term " macroevolution " is sometimes wrongly used as a litmus test of whether the writer is " properly " neo-Darwinian or not.
