Journal ArticleDOI
Food chain dynamics: the central theory of ecology?
TL;DR: This research program, called Food Chain Dynamics, is extended to include the field of community ecology, and arguments are offered defending the position that this research program could be regarded as the central theory of ecology, at least as important as the theory of evolution.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenotypic plasticity in development and evolution: facts and concepts
TL;DR: This theme issue pursues an exploration of the potential of taking into account the environmental sensitivity of development to explaining the evolution of metazoan life cycles, with special focus on complex life cycles and the role of developmental plasticity.
Journal ArticleDOI
The nature of limits to natural selection
TL;DR: The study of limits to natural selection is likely to be a fruitful future research area, and one in which the detailed documnentation of the systematist will provide invaluable baseline information.
Book ChapterDOI
The Genetics of Inbreeding Populations
TL;DR: This chapter discusses the effects of inbreeding in terms of genetic models of steadily increasing complexity with observations and measurements that show that inbreeding populations contain large amounts of genetic variability and that this variability is organized into highly integrated and flexible systems.
