Neutraalius
Neutraalius is a term used in speculative biology and science fiction to denote a hypothetical lineage of organisms characterized by ecological neutrality. The name derives from the Latin neutralis, reflecting a tendency to stabilize interactions within communities rather than dominate them. In the literature, Neutraalius is not a single species but a flexible designation for organisms that exhibit a balance-oriented strategy in their ecosystems.
Morphology and metabolism: Described as variable in form, from filamentous to colonial, Neutraalius organisms are said
Ecology and habitat: In speculative ecosystems, Neutraalius is associated with mid-level niches in environments with moderate
Discovery and cultural context: The concept has appeared primarily in speculative biology discussions and science fiction
Use and significance: As a neutral model, Neutraalius is invoked to explore how systems respond to perturbations
