Haffer, Jürgen
Erwin Stresemann (1889–1972), Secretary General, President and Honorary President of the Society of German Ornithologists for 50 years, was one of the outstanding ornithologists of the 20ᵗʰ century. During the 1920s and 1930s, he initiated the global transformation of the traditional ornithology, which had been primarily systematic and faunistic in scope, into a branch of modern biological science, a ‘New Avian Biology’, and influenced a large circle of contemporaries (the ‘Stresemann Revolution’). He forged links, directly or indirectly, between ornithology and genetics, functional morphology, physiology and ethology, when he published his seminal volume ‘Aves’ (1927–1934) in the German ‘Handbook of Zoology’, and instigated the theses of a large number of PhD students.
