El correlato ecológico del semaforonte
Resumen
The ecological correlate of the semaphoront
The biological world involves two hierarchies: the systemic and the genealogical, which have their intersection point at the individual living being. The semaphoront of the genealogical hierarchy would have its correlate, or equivalent, in the organism of the systemic hierarchy, and that would be the place where both orders mesh. However, the idea that the organism is always the systemic correlate of the exemplar, or the semaphoront of systematics, is an oversimplification. The current discussion concerning biological individuality shows that what is commonly understood as “organism” is just a form, or level, of individuation that is far from occurring in all biological lineages. In such sense, the idea of a Darwinian individual in the first grade, which I shall to explain here, defines the point of intersection between both hierarchies with greater precision and generality than the mere notion of organism. Such intersection point is located at the ecological level, where the struggle for life occurs.
Key words. Biological individual, Darwinian individual, organism, semaphoront, exemplar, systematics, biological hierarquies.
