About this title: 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, ...
