Organism and environment

Type Book

Rate 0.0 /5

The biologically intimate, causally reciprocal relationship between organisms and their environments shapes individual adaptation, ecological communities, and selective evolution. This book synthesises a wealth of new research findings to examine how environments influence phenotypic expression in individual organisms (ecological development or eco-devo) and how organisms in turn alter their environments (niche construction).
