Eimer's organ

First isolated by Theodor Eimer from the European mole in 1871, these organs are present in many moles, and are particularly common in the star-nosed mole, which bears 25,000 of them on its unique tentacled snout.

Evolution in Mendelian Populations

Studiers of evolution such as Lamarck and those who postulated the inheritance of acquired characteristics (e.g. Theodor Eimer and Edward Drinker Cope) were concerned with heredity and sought a link between one generation to the next.

Orthogenesis

The term orthogenesis was popularized by Theodor Eimer, though many of the ideas are much older (Bateson 1909).
