This heuristic was also applied to the theory of punctuated equilibrium proposed by Niles Eldredge and Gould.

His theory of peripatric speciation ( a more precise form of allopatric speciation which he advanced ), based on his work on birds, is still considered a leading mode of speciation, and was the theoretical underpinning for the theory of punctuated equilibrium, proposed by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould.

A year before their 1972 Eldredge and Gould paper, Niles Eldredge published a paper in the journal Evolution which suggested that gradual evolution was seldom seen in the fossil record and argued that Ernst Mayr's standard mechanism of allopatric speciation might suggest a possible resolution.

Berrien County's boundaries were set off by an act of the legislature of the Michigan Territory on October 29, 1829, with its present limits, but it was initially attached as Niles Township to Cass County for administrative purposes.

The county was initially divided into three townships: Berrien Township, consisting of present-day townships of Berrien, Oronoko, and Lake plus a two-mile strip north of that territory ; St. Joseph Township, consisting of everything north of Berrien Township ; and Niles Township, consisting of everything south of Berrien Township.

In 1972, the notion of gradualism in evolution was challenged by a theory of " punctuated equilibrium " put forward by Gould and Niles Eldredge, proposing evolutionary changes could occur in relatively rapid spurts, when selective pressures were heightened, punctuating long periods of morphological stability, as well-adapted organisms coped successfully in their respective environments.

Ken Niles was the show's longtime announcer, doubling as an exasperated foil to Abbott and Costello's mishaps ( and often fuming in character as Costello routinely insulted his on-air wife ).

This mansion was built in 1867 by Niles Rice and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

While some evolutionary biologists claim that speciation events have remained relatively constant over time, some palaeontologists such as Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould have argued that species usually remain unchanged over long stretches of time, and that speciation occurs only over relatively brief intervals, a view known as punctuated equilibrium.

Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould developed the same basic theory a century later, a theory known as punctuated equilibrium.

Although these approaches were not always welcomed ( at least initially ) by specialists in the subjects examined, SOC has nevertheless become established as a strong candidate for explaining a number of natural phenomena, including: earthquakes ( which, long before SOC was discovered, were known as a source of scale-invariant behaviour such as the Gutenberg-Richter law describing the statistical distribution of earthquake sizes, and the Omori law describing the frequency of aftershocks ); solar flares ; fluctuations in economic systems such as financial markets ( references to SOC are common in econophysics ); landscape formation ; forest fires ; landslides ; epidemics ; and biological evolution ( where SOC has been invoked, for example, as the dynamical mechanism behind the theory of " punctuated equilibria " put forward by Niles Eldredge and Stephen Jay Gould ).
