Walter Frank Raphael Weldon (1860-1906)
-
Volume 22 Issue 6 June 2017 pp 525-548 General Article
W F R Weldon first clearly formulated the principles of naturalselection in terms of what would have to be observed innatural populations in order to conclude that natural selectionwas, indeed, acting in the manner proposed by Darwin.The approach he took was the statistical method developedby Galton, although he was closer to Darwin’s conception ofselection acting on small individual variations than Galtonwas. Weldon, together with Karl Pearson, who supplied thestatistical innovations needed to infer the action of selectionfrom populational data on trait distributions, laid the foundationsof biometry and provided the first clear evidence of bothstabilizing and directional selection in natural populations.

Vignettes of Haeckel’s Contributions to Biology
Ernst Haeckel was a very versatile and complete biologist,equally at home with imaginative leaps of conceptualization,serious natural history in the wild, and meticulous experimentationin embryology. His work shaped the developmentof a holistic evolutionary perspective that brought ecology,ontogeny, phylogeny, and biogeography together into a unifiedexplanation of the patterns of diversity seen in the livingworld. He, along with Darwin and Mendel, was perhaps oneof the three most consequential biologists of the nineteenth century,in many ways the golden age of biology.

The Price Equation and the Mathematics of Selection
Fifty years ago, a small one and a half page paper withouta single reference was published in the leading journal Na-ture. The paper laid out the most general mathematical for-mulation of natural selection that would work for all kindsof selection processes and under any form of inheritance (notjust biological evolution and Mendelian genes), although thepaper discussed the issue in a genetical framework. Writ-ten by a maverick American expatriate in England, with noprior background of studying evolution or genetics, the paperhad initially been turned down by the editor of Nature as toodifficult to understand. Largely ignored by the evolutionarybiology community till the 1990s, the Price Equation is nowwidely recognized as an extremely useful conceptualization,permitting the incorporation of non-genetic inheritance intoevolutionary models, serving to clarify the relationship be-tween kin-selection and group-selection, unifying varied ap-proaches used in the past to model evolutionary change, andforming the foundation of multi-level selection theory.

August Friedrich Leopold Weismann: (17 January 1834 to 05 November 1914)
-
Volume 28 Issue 4 April 2023 pp 513-525 General Article
The last four decades of the nineteenth century, between the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species in 1859 and the rediscovery of Mendel's work by Carl Correns, Erich von Tschermak and Hugo de Vries in 1900, were quite tumultuous for biology. Our understanding of the living world was greatly enhanced, both in detail and conceptual nuance, during this period, especially with regard to heredity, development, and evolution. The German biologist August Weismann (see accompanying Article-in-Box for a biographical sketch) was one of the most important figures in biology during those eventful decades and is considered by many to be the most significant evolutionist in the first fifty years after Darwin. He is perhaps best known for his opposition to the admissibility of any inheritance of acquired characteristics. This was based on his notion of the sequestration of germline cells (that would eventually give rise to gametes) early in embryonic development, making it impossible for changes in somatic cells to be transmitted to offspring. However, his work also addressed many other fundamental issues in heredity, development and evolution.
