Some of the criticisms, both of Hairston, Smith and Slobodkin's model and of Oksanen's later model, were: Antagonistically, this principle is sometimes called the "trophic trickle". Although Hairston, Smith and Slobodkin formulated their argument in terms of terrestrial food chains, the earliest empirical demonstrations of trophic cascades came from marine and, especially, aquatic ecosystems. Some of the most famous examples are: The fact that the earliest documented trophic cascades all occurred in
