species, Lysenko proposed a theory that in nature there is no 

 overpopulation within the species and the struggle for survival 

 is absent. He also postulated that the existing biological species 

 can directly produce other species under the influence of the 

 surrounding medium changes. These ideas are not shared by 

 many Soviet scientists.
