	Size does matter when choosing a mate
		The difference in size between males and females of the same species is all down to the battle for a mate, according to a study of shorebirds published by British scientists today (August 9 2004).
		Rensch's rule, as it has become known, says that the ratio between the sizes of the sexes is related to body size with very few exceptions throughout the animal kingdom - for example, male gorillas are much bigger than female gorillas, whereas male rats are only slightly larger than female rats.
		Shorebirds, gulls and auks are the ideal group to test theories explaining Rensch's rule as the body mass of male shorebirds ranges from 59 per cent to 169 per cent of female body mass, encompassing nearly the entire range exhibited by the world's 9,700 species of birds.

	Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Bernhard Rensch
		Rensch's early studies concentrated on the zoogeographical characteristics of speciation, finding in the geographic range patterns of polytypic and incipient species clues that shed light on how climate and other factors influenced evolution.
		Rensch then looked into whether such forces could explain the origin of the more general taxonomic levels, the results of which study are related in his book Neuere Probleme der Abstammungslehre: Die Transspezifische Evolution, one of the primary documents of the Neo-Darwinian synthesis.
		Rensch's studies touched on many additional subjects; he became especially interested, however, in the relation of animal behavior to physiology and morphology and published work on learning and memory, the brain, sensory physiology, and ethology (which he referred to as "animal psychology").

		Size does matter when it comes to choosing and inviting your mate as the larger or bigger you are, the easier it is to drive away other suitors and win your mate.
		Rensch's rule states that the ratio between the sizes of the sexes is related to body size with very few exceptions throughout the animal kingdom.
		The researchers found that where there was high competition between males, the difference in the ratio between the sizes of the sexes increases, explaining the changing ratios identified by Rensch.

	ETHOLOGY: RELATIVE SIZE AND MATING BEHAVIOR
		1) Five decades ago, the German evolutionary biologist Bernhard Rensch (1900-1990)(1) presented an intriguing rule for the differing sizes of male and female animals.
		He found that in several groups (clades) that each contain related species, male size relative to female size increases with the body size of the species.
		Rensch's rule has since been verified in animals as diverse as arthropods, reptiles, birds and mammals, including primates(2).

	Mind in Nature: the Interface of Science and Philosophy
		The reduction of chemistry to physics, of biology to chemistry, of animal conscious or subconscious experience to biology, and of consciousness itself and the creativeness of the human mind to animal experience, are all problems that are unlikely if not impossible to succeed.
		Reductive determinism mistakenly holds the view that when prediction of behavior and thought is not possible, this is because of the complexity of the determining factors rather than because of indeterminacy or freedom.
		The author discusses the similarities and differences between the insights of Bernhard Rensch, Sewall Wright, and Charles Hartshorne, from a Whiteheadian point of view.

	Anagenesis Versus Cladogenesis \| World of Genetics
		Biologists had an understanding of these two concepts for decades before they became formalized during the middle of the twentieth century.
		The German biologist Bernhard Rensch (1900-1990) introduced the terms in 1954; the English biologist Julian Huxley (1887-1975) popularized them three years later, and the American paleontologist George Gaylord Simpson (1902-1984) finalized the definitions in 1961.
		Rensch and Huxley restricted the term anagenesis to progressive change, but Simpson broadened the term to include any type of change.

	Ernst Mayr, "Speciational Evolution or Punctuated Equilibria," 1992 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		The problem of relating speciation to macroevolution occupied primarily three zoologists, Julian Huxley (1942), Mayr (1942, 1954), and Bernhard Rensch (1947), who were neither geneticists nor paleontologists.
		Since these three were among the architects of the evolutionary synthesis, one can state that the problem of the relation between speciation and macroevolution was not entirely ignored by the evolutionary synthesis.
		What had not been realized before is how truly Darwinian speciational evolution is. It was generally recognized that regular variational evolution in the Darwinian sense takes place at the level of the individual and population, but that a similar variational evolution occurs at the level of species was generally ignored.

		Additionally, the molluscs exploits of the German Deep Sea Expedition (Deutsche Tiefsee-Expedition) on board the "Valdivia" (1898-1899), of the German South Pole Expedition (Deutsche Südpolar-Expedition) on board the "Gauss" (1901-1903) and of the Sunda Expedition of Bernhard Rensch (1927) are held by our museum.

		However, a quiet majority of geneticists thought of species' origin as by the gradual accumulation of small mutations and in 1940 this allowed for "The Synthetic Theory of Evolution" found for byTheodosius Dobzhansky (geneticist) and zoologists.
		This congenial consensus or Synthesis, which neologism Julian Sorell Huxley (zoologist and Thomas Henry Huxley's grandson) coined (along with cline, clade, and ethnology), was forwarded and developed notably by him, Ernst Mayr (ornithologist), Bernhard Rensch (zoologist), George Gaylord Simpson (vertebrate paleontologist), and George Ledyard Stebbins (botanist).
		Resolved was the conflict over the object of selection that since the 1920s had been the gene for geneticists, but for most naturalists it was the individual.
