• Phase shifts and stable states on coral reefs (2010, background): “This model of the behavior of reef assemblages has attained the status of a paradigm (sensu lato) among coral reef ecologists (see Graham & Dayton 2002).”
• HISTORY AND CURRENT DEVELOPMENT OF A PARADIGM OF PREDATION IN ROCKY INTERTIDAL COMMUNITIES (2002, background): “The historical development of theory did not ensue from a clean sweep of older premises in favor of the new (Wade 1977, Graham and Dayton 2002, Paine 2002).”
• Rising complexity and falling explanatory power in ecology (2014, background): “The marked rise in the number of P values reported parallels the increase in the page count of journals and the proliferation of references in articles, which have both been correlated with an expansion in the size of the literature (more articles are being published), specialization (decrease in th”

• The Concept of Organisms as Ecosystem Engineers Ten Years On: Progress, Limitations, and Challenges (2006, background): “The introduction of new concepts and terminology in ecology is frequently met with resistance, which can often help refine and clarify a new concept or illustrate potential weaknesses either in the new concept or in the established paradigm (Pickett et al. 1994, Graham and Dayton 2002).”
• Conceptual Synthesis in Community Ecology (2010, background): “One motivation was the common criticism that ecologists tend to repeatedly reinvent the wheel: we claim ideas as new that are only subtly distinct, or not distinct at all, from ideas put forth long ago (Lawton 1991; Graham and Dayton 2002; Belovsky et al. 2004).”
• Identification of 100 fundamental ecological questions (2013, background): “…have seen debates on whether general laws in ecology could be identified (Moffat 1994; Lawton 1999; Ghilarov 2001; Dodds 2009; Colyvan & Ginzburg 2012) and the extent to which ecology is making progress (Abrahamson, Whitham & Price 1989; Belovsky et al. 2004; O’Connor 2000; Graham & Dayton 2002).”
