§ “Critical Biodiversity”, by J. H. Kaufman, and O. R. Melroy. HMS Beagle (Invited comment, internet journal) (April 2000). I wrote a numerical simulation of the evolution of life which demonstrated the existence of a critical level of biodiversity which determines the stability of an ecosystem. The work done in 1992 and was recently sighted at http://www.biomednet.com/hmsbeagle/76/viewpts/op_ed .
