The Willi Hennig Society "was founded in 1980 with the expressed purpose of promoting the field of phylogenetic systematics."[1] The society is represented by phylogenetic systematists managing and publishing in the peer-reviewed journal titled Cladistics. The society is named after Willi Hennig, a German systematic entomologist who developed the modern methods and philosophical approach to systematics in the 1940s and 1950s.[1] The society is also involved in reconstructing the tree of life. The current president, Prof. Dr. Stefan Richter of Universitat Rostock, was elected in 2022, succeeding Prof. Dr. Christiane Weirauch.
