The heckling of this German foreigner was tremendous, but he gave tit for tat, and any modern picture of Dr E. Mayr as a very formal person does not square with my memory of the 1930s.

The term clade was introduced in 1958 by Julian Huxley after having been coined by Lucien Cuénot in 1940, cladistic by Cain and Harrison in 1960, and cladist ( for an adherent of Hennig's school ) by Mayr in 1965.

Ernst Mayr remarks that the theory was hotly contested by some famous geneticists: William Bateson, Wilhelm Johannsen, Richard Goldschmidt and T. H.

Ernst Walter Mayr ( July 5, 1904 – February 3, 2005 ) was one of the 20th century's leading evolutionary biologists.

Ernst Mayr approached the problem with a new definition for the concept of species.

Mayr is sometimes credited with inventing modern philosophy of biology, particularly the part related to evolutionary biology, which he distinguished from physics due to its introduction of ( natural ) history into science.

Mayr was the second son of Helene Pusinelli and Dr. Otto Mayr.

In February 1923, Mayr passed his high school examination ( Abitur ) and his mother rewarded him with a pair of binoculars.

Raimund Schelcher ( 1891 – 1979 ) of the club then suggested that Mayr visit his classmate Erwin Stresemann on his way to Greifswald, where Mayr was to begin his medical studies.

Stresemann was very impressed and suggested that, between semesters, Mayr could work as a volunteer in the ornithological section of the museum.

Mayr wrote about this event, " It was as if someone had given me the key to heaven.

" Mayr was endlessly interested in ornithology and " chose Greifswald at the Baltic for my studies for no other reason than that ... it was situated in the ornithologically most interesting area.

" During the first semester break Stresemann gave him a test to identify treecreepers and Mayr was able to identify most of the specimens correctly.

Mayr completed his doctorate in ornithology at the University of Berlin under Dr. Carl Zimmer, who was a full professor ( Ordentlicher Professor ), on June 24, 1926 at the age of 21.

At the International Zoological Congress at Budapest in 1927, Mayr was introduced by Stresemann to banker and naturalist Walter Rothschild, who asked him to undertake an expedition to New Guinea on behalf of himself and the American Museum of Natural History in New York.

In New Guinea, Mayr collected several thousand bird skins ( he named 26 new bird species during his lifetime ) and, in the process also named 38 new orchid species.

After Mayr was appointed at the American Museum of Natural History, he influenced American ornithological research by mentoring young birdwatchers.

Mayr was surprised at the differences between American and German birding societies.

Mayr organized a monthly seminar under the auspices of the Linnean Society of New York.
