The concept of punctuated equilibrium refers to

#Section 1: Ecology
  1. Oscillating ecological successional stages
  2. Ecological succession arrested by sudden environmental changes, e.g., fire
  3. Persistent predator-prey relationships in relatively stable environments
  4. Bursts of speciation followed by relatively unchanging lineages
