title: Landau and Lifshitz' formulation of Le Chatelier's principle: an insight into symbiosis?
abstract: A correspondence allows application of Landau and Lifshitz' formulation of Le Chatelier's principle from statistical physics to a simple 2-D model of biological symbiosis. The insight: symbionts stabilize the occupation of narrow peaks on fitness landscape.
