Abstract
En 中文
Ecology and evolutionary biology have focused on how organisms fit the environment. Less attention has been given to the idea that organisms can also modify their environment, and that these modifications can feed back to the organism, thus providing a key factor for their persistence and evolution. There are at least three independent lines of evidence emphasizing these biological feedback processes at different scales: niche construction (population scale); alternative biome states (community scale); and the Gaia hypothesis (planetary scale). These feedback processes make us rethink traditional concepts like niche and adaptation. We argue that organism-environment feedbacks must become a regular part of ecological thinking, especially now that the Earth is quickly changing.
