Raymond Lindeman and the Trophic-Dynamic Concept in Ecology

Robert Edward Cook 1

1 Assistant professor of ecology in the Biology Department, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138

Lindeman's classic paper on energy flow in ecosystems was initially rejected for publication in Ecology. Reviewers felt there were insufficient data to support the theoretical model and that theoretical essays were inappropriate for Ecology. The paper was subsequently accepted by Thomas Park, the zoological editor, after correspondence with G. Evelyn Hutchinson who indicated the importance of theory in the development of ecology.
