can be captured by following physical
and chemical flows and cycles.

Ecological patterns are the ones that
can be captured by following physical
and chemical flows and cycles.
Genealogical patterns are those that
can be followed and fully captured by
following 'bloodlines', related lineages,
and their common ancestry.

“By ecology we mean the body of
knowledge concerning the economy of
nature, the total relations of the animal to
both its inorganic and organic environment;
including its friendly and inimical relations
with those animals and plants with which it
comes into contact. In a word, all the
complex relationships referred to as the
struggle for existence”

“It is becoming increasingly apparent that a complete answer to any question
should deal with physiological, adaptational and evolutionary aspects of the
problem. The evolutionary process of becoming yields the most profound
understanding of biological systems at all levels of organization. The non-
evolutionary answer to the question of why an animal is abundant in some
parts of its range and rare in others is of necessity incomplete”

"Ecology […] has its descriptive generalizations, such as the principle of
competitive exclusion, but as in other fields, evolution would seem to be
the only real theory of ecology today. Even if one strongly believes in the
action of natural selection it is exceedingly difficult, as Darwin pointed
out, to keep it always firmly in mind. Neglect of natural selection in
ecological thinking is, therefore, understandable though regretable.
However, its deliberate exclusion in these years following the Darwin
centennial would seem to be exceedingly unwise"

Hierarchy Theory of evolution
Eldredge 1986
“organisms seem to be both energy conversion machines and
reproducing ‘packages’ of genetic information. As such they are
integrated simultaneously into two largely separate, but
interacting kinds of general systems” (1986, p. 351)

Patterns in the natural world are extremely important. [...]
They pose both the questions and the answers that
scientists formulate as they seek to describe the world [...].
Science is a search for resonance between mind and natural
pattern as we try to answer these questions. (Eldredge 1999,
pp. 4-5)

Science is a search for resonance between mind and natural
pattern as we try to answer these questions. (Eldredge 1999,

It is this two-way street [...] that together form the
resonance between mind and material nature that is
the heart and soul of science. The search for more
accurate depictions and explanations of phenomena
already perceived is where most of the serious day-
to-day work of science lies. But it is in the learning of
new ways to see phenomena that true novelty and
creativity come in. Both are vital and in many ways
themselves inseparable. Both involve wrestling with
patterns in nature-the explanation of agreed-upon
pattern, and the search for new ways of seeing new
patterns (Eldredge, cit., p. 16).

The evolutionary process of becoming yields the most profound understanding of biological systems at all levels of organization. The non- evolutionary answer to the question of why an animal is abundant in some parts of its range and rare in others is of necessity incomplete” "Ecology […] has its descriptive generalizations, such as the principle of competitive exclusion, but as in other fields, evolution would seem to be the only real theory of ecology today. Even if one strongly believes in the action of natural selection it is exceedingly difficult, as Darwin pointed out, to keep it always firmly in mind. Neglect of natural selection in ecological thinking is, therefore, understandable though regretable. However, its deliberate exclusion in these years following the Darwin centennial would seem to be exceedingly unwise"

  • 46. Integration between ecological and genealogical patterns: Where are we? 25 Patterns in the natural world are extremely important. [...] They pose both the questions and the answers that scientists formulate as they seek to describe the world [...]. Science is a search for resonance between mind and natural pattern as we try to answer these questions. (Eldredge 1999, pp. 4-5) It is this two-way street [...] that together form the resonance between mind and material nature that is the heart and soul of science. The search for more accurate depictions and explanations of phenomena already perceived is where most of the serious day- to-day work of science lies. But it is in the learning of new ways to see phenomena that true novelty and creativity come in. Both are vital and in many ways themselves inseparable. Both involve wrestling with patterns in nature-the explanation of agreed-upon pattern, and the search for new ways of seeing new patterns (Eldredge, cit., p. 16).
