LXXVIII. 373 Referring to the closed and artificially limited environment used in germfree studies, a better term for this kind of environment would be stenotope. 1981S. J. Gould in R. M. May Theoret. Ecol. (ed. 2) xiii. 299 The greater geological longevity of stressed eurytopes does not imply that evolutionary trends towards their domination should exist within clades—for stenotopes may, on average, persist for shorter times, yet speciate at such a markedly greater rate that they increase steadily in relative frequency for species within clades. |
