Why Is Bernhard Rensch Influential?

(Suggest an Edit or Addition)

According to Wikipedia, Bernhard Rensch was a German evolutionary biologist and ornithologist who did field work in Indonesia and India. Starting his scientific career with pro-Lamarckian views, he shifted to selectionism and became one of the architects of the modern synthesis in evolutionary biology, which he popularised in Germany. Besides his work on how environmental factors influenced the evolution of geographically isolated populations and on evolution above the species level, which contributed to the modern synthesis, he also worked extensively in the area of animal behavior and on philosophical aspects of biological science. His education and scientific work were interrupted by service in the German military during both World War I and World War II.
