Raymond Lindeman (1915-1942)
Lindeman completed his PhD at the University of Minnesota. While a post-doc at Yale with G. Evelyn Hutchinson, Lindeman submitted a chapter of his thesis for publication in the journal Ecology. His manuscript was initially rejected for its generalisations. After his death in June 1942, his manuscript was published in Ecology and it has become a seminal work in ecology and limnology.

In his doctoral thesis, RaymondLindeman developed the "trophic dynamic" approach that would be so influential to the formation of ecosystem ecology in his widely cited "The Trophic Dynamic aspects of Ecology" (1941).
Lindeman paid attention to the community relations that has become central to limnology (the study of lakes) and ecology (the study of communities).
