Resumo

George Evelyn Hutchinson is recognised as one of the best limnologists and ecologists of the 20th century, whose contributions have been key for the development of modern ecology and limnology. His most important contributions include, concepts, theories and classifications currently used such as, for example, the ecological niche concept, Hutchinson’s paradox and lake classifications. Hutchinson redefined the ecological niche concept based on previous ideas of Grinnell and Elton, suggesting that it should be considered as a hypervolume in the environmental space caused by the multidimensional response of variables that determine the stability of populations. This new perception of the ecological niche has been fundamental for the development of other investigations in different fields of biology, in particular in ecology, evolution, and biogeography. Furthermore, Hutchinson’s treatise on limnology is considered as the most extensive compilation of limnology. Hutchinson aimed to answer why several species of phytoplankton that compete for the same resources can coexist in an aquatic ecosystem which is usually nutrient deficient (known as the Hutchinson’s paradox). The scientific advances promoted by Hutchinson have inspired many generations of biologist
