Main geographical regions of Ernst Mayr’s taxonomic and zoogeographical studies on the birds of Oceania, Australia, the Malay Archipelago, and southeastern Asia.The Pacific islands are schematically outlined and their names and years of visits by the Whitney South Sea Expedition indicated. The expedition ended with collecting activities in Queensland, Australia during World War II ◭ Fig.4.2. Numbers of Ernst Mayr’s publications in his main fields of research between 1923 and 2004. Figures refer to his books as listed on page 478. Not included are publications in various miscellaneous fields, his annual reports as Director of the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University (1961–1970) and over 120 book reviews. The drop in the number of ornithological publications during 1928–1929 and 1934–1936 was caused by Mayr’s expedition to New Guinea and the incorporation of the Rothschild collection into that of the AMNH, respectively

Shaded–papers in the series “Birds collected during the Whitney South Sea Expedition.” Pacific Islands The Whitney South Sea Expedition Ernst Mayr’s primary task, when he arrived at the AMNH in January 1931, was to study the collections of birds sent in by the Whitney South Sea Expedition (WSSE) which, at that time, continued field work in the southern Pacific Ocean and eventually developed into the longest, geographically most extensive and scientifically one of the most important ornithological expedition ever undertaken. Travelers were continuously in the field from 1920 until 1940 and R.C. Murphy at the AMNH functioned as general manager, but he never joined them anywhere during this entire period. He once got as far as California on his way to
