Clearly, this debate is yet unresolved. Return to top 2. Return to top 3. We thought we'd try something new this week. Here we are thinking back to Laura and Peter's presentation on Complexity.
Many researchers seem to equate diversity and complexity.
May be most testable. May's tests of diversity and stability were based on randomly derived interaction matrices of various sizes, locations of species, etc. All organisms have to solve this common thermodynamic problem. Thus, the ultimate currency is energy. Organisms come up with new inventions all the time to convert energy into fitness.
