谢谢戴兄推荐。这里纠正一个小错误：Darwin's Entangled Bank应该是指“树木交错的河岸”。bank的多义性给我们的理解带来了小小的障碍。

语出《物种起源》最后一段。David Storch, Pablo A. Marquet, and Kevin J. Gaston, “ECOLOGY: Untangling an Entangled Bank,” Science 307, no. 5710 (February 4, 2005). 这篇文章也提到：
In the Origin of Species, Charles Darwin made a specific appeal to this idea when he wrote his famous description of the complex ecology of a bank covered by dense vegetation: "It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us".

这句话最广泛的中译法是(按周建人/叶笃庄/方宗熙译本)：“凝视树木交错的河岸，许多种类的无数植物覆盖其上，群鸟鸣于灌木丛中，各种昆虫飞来飞去，蚯蚓在湿土里爬过，并且默想一下，这些构造精巧的类型，彼此这样相异，并以这样复杂的方式相互依存，而它们都是由于在我们周围发生作用的法则产生出来的，这岂非有趣之事。”

Current Biology我们这里也没有fulltext access, 郁闷。不过不得不承认，“乱帐银行”是个有意思的译法和视角：）
