How can you use “mayr” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

Mayr and Grant wrote against a background that almost entirely lacked any mathematical theory of speciation (which I suspect neither of them would have drawn on even if it had been developed), any relevant molecular data (other than early allozyme studies by the time Grant published), and any rigorous phylogenetic methodology.
Mayr and Grant articulated positions on species and speciation that had developed during and soon after the Modern Synthesis of the 1930s and 1940s, when modern evolutionary theory developed from a reconciliation of genetics, systematics, and paleontology.
Mayr and Grant drew on abundant systematic data on patterns of divergence and experimental data on genetic differences between related species.
(It became Eldredge and Gould's [3] theoretical foundation for punctuated equilibrium nine years after Mayr's book appeared.)
Even more astonishing than the paucity of studies of the role of ecological selection in speciation is the fact that the likely role of sexual selection was not even recognized until almost 20 years after Mayr's book.
