Hickey remembered later, " Mayr was our age and invited on all our field trips.

Mayr said of his own involvement with the local birdwatchers: " In those early years in New York when I was a stranger in a big city, it was the companionship and later friendship which I was offered in the Linnean Society that was the most important thing in my life.

Mayr gets 16 citations and more in the two later editions ; all three published outstanding and relevant books some years later, and their contribution to the synthesis is unquestionable.

The Primitives temporarily added Tony Mayr as a bassist so that Tweedy could play guitar, but a month later the band decided to keep Tweedy on bass and remain a three-piece.

* Mayr on Eldredge and Gould's punctuated equilibria.

Although some of the basic workings of the theory were proposed and identified by Mayr in 1954, historians of science generally recognize the 1972 paper by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould as the foundational document of the new paleobiological research program.

Punctuated equilibrium differs from Mayr's hypothesis mainly in that Eldredge and Gould placed considerably greater emphasis on stasis, whereas Mayr was generally concerned with explaining the morphological discontinuity ( or " sudden jumps ") found in the fossil record.

Gould also specifically pointed out an error in the use of the term " polyploidy "; stated that Johnson incorrectly refers to Otto Schindewolf as a saltationist, " attacks " outdated statements of Simpson and Mayr ; fails to point out that Henry Fairfield Osborn corrected his own mistake regarding Nebraska Man ; and stated that Johnson overlooks " self-organizing properties of molecules and other physical systems " that, in Gould's opinion, makes the self-assembly of RNA or DNA plausible.

This theory was popularized by Ernst Mayr in his 1954 paper " Change of genetic environment and evolution ," and his classic volume Animal Species and Evolution ( 1963 ).

This stimulating hypothesis was alluded to by Mayr in the closing paragraph of his 1954 paper ( p. 179 ).

In the paper describing the fossil Gerald Mayr suggested that it was similar to the stem species of the Grues ( the cranes and limpkins ), and that the limpkins evolved massively long bills as a result of the specialisation to feeding on snails.

Her first research paper was published with the help of Mayr and Erwin Stresemann in the German Journal für Ornithologie in 1933 and 1934 because American journals would not accept such long articles.

Mayr was an unconventional atheist, stating he was an atheist towards " the idea of a personal God " because " there is nothing that supports "

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

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 never won a Nobel Prize, but he noted that there is no Prize for evolutionary biology and that Darwin would not have received one, either.

In a similar fashion, Mayr was also quite critical of molecular evolutionary studies such as those of Carl Woese.

In many of his writings, Mayr rejected reductionism in evolutionary biology, arguing that evolutionary pressures act on the whole organism, not on single genes, and that genes can have different effects depending on the other genes present.

Mayr insisted throughout his career that the gene as the target of selection cannot and should not be considered a valid idea in modern evolutionary thought.

Ernst Mayr ranked him the second most notable evolutionary theorist of the 19th century, after Charles Darwin.

Ernst Mayr judged him to be the most important evolutionary thinker between Darwin and the evolutionary synthesis around 1930 – 40, and was " one of the great biologists of all time ".

* Huxley's main co-respondents in the modern evolutionary synthesis are usually listed as Ernst Mayr, Theodosius Dobzhansky, George Gaylord Simpson, Bernhard Rensch, Ledyard Stebbins and the population geneticists J. B. S.

Still, Ernst Mayr, co-founder of the modern evolutionary synthesis and a critic of both vitalism and reductionism, writing in 2002 after the mathematical development of theories underlying emergent behavior, stated:

* July 5-Ernst Mayr ( died 2005 ), German-born evolutionary biologist.

Ernst Mayr, George C. Williams and Jacques Monod picked up the term and used it in evolutionary biology.

Because parasitic organisms often inhabit multiple hosts during a life cycle, evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr stated that internal parasites existing within different hosts demonstrate allopatry, not sympatry.

* February 3 – Ernst Mayr ( b. 1904 ), evolutionary biologist.

His work in this area would influence Ernst Mayr, who was also an assistant at the museum from 1927 – 1930, and would contribute to the development of the modern evolutionary synthesis.

This exposure to evolutionary theory led him to do graduate work with Ernst Mayr at Harvard from 1968 to 1972.

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

Nevertheless, Donizetti received some musical instruction from Simon Mayr, a German composer of internationally successful operas who had become maestro di cappella at Bergamo's principal church in 1802.

Before he left Germany for the United States in 1930, Mayr had been influenced by the work of German biologist Bernhard Rensch.

One letter from the Harvard biologist Ernst Mayr wrote that Beebe's work had been an inspiration to his own, particularly A Monograph of the Pheasants and Beebe's books about jungle wildlife.

That same month Hitler wrote what is often deemed his first anti-Semitic text, requested by Mayr for one Adolf Gemlich, who participated in the same " educational courses " Hitler had taken part in.

Chancellor Mayr had to resign as chancellor in 1922, after the Greater German People's Party left the coalition in disagreement over a treaty signed with the Czechoslovak republic concerning the Sudeten German territories.

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.

However, such usage has been described by some as incorrect ; with Ernst Mayr writing in 1984:

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

The science that tries to reconstruct phylogenetic trees and thus discover clades is called phylogenetics or cladistics, the latter term being derived from " clade " by Ernst Mayr ( 1965 ).

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.

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

In 1995 he was awarded the Linnean Medal by The Linnean Society and in 1999 he was awarded the Crafoord Prize jointly with Ernst Mayr and George C. Williams.

Donizetti was not especially successful as a choirboy, but in 1806 he was one of the first pupils to be enrolled at the Lezioni Caritatevoli school, founded by Mayr, in Bergamo through a full scholarship.

The species problem was tackled by the ornithologist Ernst Mayr.

Ornithology in the United States continued to be dominated by museum studies of morphological variations, species identities and geographic distributions, until it was influenced by Stresemann's student Ernst Mayr.

In Munich, Hitler took part in " national thinking " courses organized by the Education and Propaganda Department of the Bavarian Reichswehr under Captain Karl Mayr.
