at the University of Tennessee:
"... consider the ultimate form of external environmental disturbance
- total destruction of the habitat, such as might result from logging
of a forest, or an asteroid collision, or a nuclear holocaust. ..."
(p. 136 in The Balance of Nature?, Univ. of Chicago Press, 1991)
