Niche construction : the neglected process in evolution / F. John Odling-Smee, Kevin N. Laland, and Marcus W. Feldman. - Princeton : Princeton University Press, ©2003. - 1 online resource (xii, 472 pages) : illustrations - Monographs in population biology ; no. 37 . - Monographs in population biology ; 37. .
Includes bibliographical references (pages 421-455) and index.
The Evidence for Niche Construction -- A Theoretical Investigation of the Evolutionary Consequences of Niche Construction -- General Qualitative Characteristics of Niche Construction -- Niche Construction and Ecology -- Human Niche Construction, Learning, and Cultural Processes -- Testing Niche Construction 1: Empirical Methods and Predictions for Evolutionary Biology -- Testing Niche Construction 2: Empirical Methods, Theory, and Predictions for Ecology -- Testing Niche Construction 3: Empirical Methods and Predictions for the Human Sciences -- Extended Evolutionary Theory.
The seemingly innocent observation that the activities of organisms bring about changes in environments is so obvious that it seems an unlikely focus for a new line of thinking about evolution. Yet niche construction--as this process of organism-driven environmental modification is known--has hidden complexities. By transforming biotic and abiotic sources of natural selection in external environments, niche construction generates feedback in evolution on a scale hitherto underestimated--and in a manner that transforms the evolutionary dynamic. It also plays a critical role in ecology, suppo.
