BEYOND DARWIN’S TANGLED BANK. “Ecological communities or consortia, such as biofilms, holobionts, and super-organisms, are not collections of relatively autonomous things but deeply entangled meshes of interdependent processes. This entanglement can make it extremely difficult to establish unequivocally the boundaries of a biological individual, or even to determine how many individuals we are dealing with in a particular situation. This is why ecological relations are best seen as an intertwining of processes.”
