  Willi Hennig
Willi Hennig was born April 20, 1913, in the village of Dürrhennersdorf, southern Upper Lusatia (east of Dresden), Germany, and he died November 5, 1976, Ludwigsburg, Germany.
Hennig was educated at the federal Gymnasium in Dresden-Klotzsche and in Leipzig.
Elsewhere, Hennig was appointed to several internationally reputed scientific academies, including that in the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences, and he received numerous awards for his scientific accomplishments, including the gold medal of the Linnean Society London and the gold medal of the American Museum of Natural History, New York.

Zu dessen Nachfolger Klaus Günther baute Willi Hennig eine tiefe Freundschaft auf.
In den folgenden Jahren schrieb Hennig 17 Arbeiten zu Zweiflüglern in baltischem Bernstein und drei Arbeiten über Einschlüsse in Bernstein aus dem Libanon.
Wie viele andere Neuerungen in der Wissenschaft wurden auch Hennigs Theorien nicht kritiklos in der Wissenschaftswelt angenommen.

 Willi Hennig
Incidentally, Willi Hennig did not mention that the use of common primitive characters as evidence of relationship may be deceptive; instead he emphasized the dangers of convergent evolution.
Hennig regarded a discussion of phylogenetic principles among a small group of colleagues, particularly a written or oral discussion with an author on the basis of his manuscript (whose level of work appeared to him worth spending some time on) to be more important than general speaking engagements before a large audience.
Hennig strenuously objected to the dilution of this term (for example through the incorporation of groups which are characterized only by evident non-synapomorphies) in Mayr, as he did vis-a-vis visitors whenever he deemed it necessary.

 Willi Hennig / Phylogenetic Systematics
Willi Hennig's influential synthetic work, arguing for the primacy of the phylogenetic system as the general reference system in biology, generated significant controversy and opened possibilities for evolutionary biology that are still being explored.
The late WILLI HENNIG was director of phylogenetic research at the State Museum of Natural Science, Stuttgart.
His honors included the Gold Medal of the Linnaean Society and the Gold Medal for Distinguished Achievement in Science of the American Museum of Natural History.

Willi Hennig (* 20.04 1913 in Dürrhennersdorf/Oberlausitz; † 5.11 1976 in Ludwigsburg) war ein deutscher Biologe und gilt als Begründer der phylogenetischen Systematik, die heute auch unter dem Namen Kladistik bekannt ist.

 f36 Phenetics slips from prominence
Each group disagreed with Hennig for different reasons, but at the 1965 meetings of the Society for Systematic Zoology leading proponents of each school, Ernst Mayr and Robert Sokal, did coin the same term of derision for Hennigian approaches—cladism.
Hennig’s cries (Grundzüge einer Theorie der phylogenetischen Systematik, 1950) against it, stochastically generated phylogenies began to appear as of body of seemingly unassailable fortitude.
Willi Hennig’s mature criticism of phenetics in 1956 (Systematik und Phylogenese) tore at the heart of that discipline by showing its results to be merely expedient.

 What's in a Name? The Past, Present and Future of Taxonomy
Hennig proposed the practice of taxonomy as a series of tests of hypotheses.
With Hennig's developments, the task of taxonomy became to identify the monophyletic groups by defining species' characters unambiguously and plotting their distribution.
In the 1960's when Hennig's book Phylogenetic Systematics (it was published in 1950 in German as Grundzüge einer Theorie der Phylogenetischen Systematik) was first translated into English and came into British and American academic circles, it was extremely controversial.

 Henning XXV
The first meeting of the Willi Hennig Society (Hennig I) took place in 1980 at the University of Kansas, Lawrence.
Four years later, the meetings were held in London, organized for the first time outside the USA (Hennig IV).
We have selected Oaxaca as the venue city for the meetings because we would like you to enjoy one of the richest regions of our country, not at all in terms of money, but rather in terms of cultural and biological diversity.

Cladistics differs from phenetics, which groups organisms based on overall similarity, and from more traditional approaches based on "key characters".
Willi Hennig is widely regarded as the founder of cladistics.
Based on a wide variety of information, which includes genetic analysis, biochemical analysis, and analysis of morphology, relationship trees called "cladograms" are drawn up to show different possibilities.

 BDWD Family List
Modern attempts at Diptera family classification are based on the work of Willi Hennig (1948, 1952, 1954, 1958, 1965, 1971), which was summarized in this treatment in the Handbook of Zoology in 1973.
One way to decide about the question of rank is to follow Hennig (1950, 1966) in determining the rank based on the age of the group.
Leptoconopidae are a subfamily of Ceratopogonidae according to Hennig (1973).

 Chrono-Biographical Sketch: Willi Hennig
Beyond his influential studies on the taxonomy of flies, Hennig will be remembered more generally as the foremost biological systematist of the twentieth century for his development of the methodology known as phylogenetic systematics (now frequently referred to as "cladism" or "cladistics" by his followers).
This system in turn made it possible for the accelerated development of vicariance biogeography methods, which seek to trace out the record in space of species divergences over time, and relate these to climate changes or other concurrently operating geographical/environmental causal influences.
Hennig's method is still controversial, less on its own terms than in the effects its rather strict logic has had on idealistic notions of biological classification per se, and the degree to which it has led its practitioners to treat environmental contexts in largely deterministic terms.

 Crown group . Archaeopteryx . Willi Hennig . Dodo   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
A living monophyletic group or clade, consists of the last common ancestor of all living examples, plus all of its descendants.
This definition of a group is called the “ crown group ”, and was named thus by Willi Hennig, the formulator of cladistics phylogenetic systematics.
Because the Dodo, although extinct, is still descended from the last common ancestor of all living birds, for example, it is nevertheless included in the bird crown group.

 Coleoptera : 2.September 1999 meeting Hening Society
The eighteenth Meeting of the Willi Hennig Society will be held in Göttingen, Germany, 12-17 September 1999.
Therefore we have, after some time of controversial discussion on methods, chosen the general title "Phylogeny and Evolution" to lay emphasis on a a reunification of phylogenetists. In 1999, the Willi Hennig Society will meet for the first time in Germany, where the founder of phylogenetic systematics, or cladistics, Willi Hennig, was born in 1913.
Therefore, the scientific meeting will begin with a few presentations on the early history and the roots of phylogenetic systematics. General information (see also) The Scientific session will be held in the lecture hall of the Institute of Education (Institut für Erziehungswissenschaften, Waldweg 24).
