For Clements, the climax was a "superorganism", an organic entity.
对于克莱门茨来讲,顶级的是一个“超级有机体”,一个有机的整体。
Wheeler said the superorganism of the hive "emerges" from the mass of ordinary insect organisms.
惠勒说,蜂巢的超级有机体,是从许多普通昆虫有机体中“涌现”出来的。
Even some authors who accepted the climax concept rejected Clements' characterization of it as a superorganism, and it is indeed a misleading metaphor.
