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.
