   Who was Robert MacArthur?

   • In his short life (b. 1930–d. 1972), Robert MacArthur was a highly influential architect of modern ecology. He was, as much as anyone, responsible for bringing theoretical population biology into mainstream ecology at a time when many empirical ecologists were openly hostile to theory.

   What did Robert MacArthur say about ecosystem stability?

He stated that ecosystem stability increased as the number of interactions (complexity) between the different species within the ecosystem also increased.

   Why is MacArthur 1961 under cited?

   • MacArthur 1961 explores the tension between individual fitness and the good of the species. The paper is under-cited, given its novelty within population genetics at the time, and even under-cited by MacArthur himself, given that it presents the genetic mechanisms underlying much of his later ecological work.
