- W2065576468 abstract "1. Reynolds (1998) recently wrote a short piece in this journal lamenting the state of the art of freshwater ecology. Others have recently foreshadowed the end of science altogether. It is my argument here that the end of science is not nigh and that there are fundamental advances to be made in understanding ecosystem function. Despite changes to the funding base of freshwater ecology over the years, the discipline can continue to make fundamental contributions to ecology. We have an excellent base of raw material to work with, however, collected. 2. As a rebuttal Reynolds (1997) I present evidence that ecosystems (and freshwater ecosystems in particular) may well be a lot simpler than we think. Buried deep within a very complex world there are some general modes of behaviour, determined by fundamental principles, which impart certain kinds of high level order and predictability. 3. By means of six propositions I argue the case for the existence of these fundamental principles and present empirical evidence for each. 4. In conclusion it is clear that there is a need for fundamental information about the role of biodiversity in ecosystem function. There is also a need to understand the interplay between environmental perturbations, biodiversity and functional groups which together determine the cycling of energy and materials within freshwater and estuarine systems. While we have considerable information about northern hemisphere aquatic ecosystems less is known about southern hemisphere systems." @default.
