摘要：

Reviews the sea urchin phenomenon responsible for the alternation between macroalgal beds and coralline barrens in the NW Atlantic. Explanations for the phenomenon have invoked 4 separate scenarios, which changed mainly as a consequence of extraneous events rather than experimental testing. Results contrary to the keystone-predator paradigm for American lobster Homarus americanus were circumvented, system components of the various scenarios became accepted without testing, and modifications of some components appeared arbitrary. -from Authors
