These theories have been tested to date in unimaginably many cases and can, therefore, be regarded extremely well corroborated. The Modem Evolutionary Synthesis has been completed in the early 1950s. Its outcome, however, has been further developed and extended again and again, which is normal for all scientific theories. Gerd von Wahlert's contribution has been an essential further deve- lopment. He focussed on the interdependences of all organisms; his approach is consequently a "synecological" analysis of evolutionary history. In ecology, it is not an open question but basic understanding that no species of organisms can exist in isolation from all others. However, in phylogenetics it is by.
