The volume is organized into three main sections: historical perspectives, contested models, and emerging frameworks. The first section explores the origins of the modern idea of organism-environment interaction in the mid-nineteenth century and its development by later psychologists and anthropologists. ...
An ecosystem is all the organisms living in a place together with their environment. An ecosystem can be huge, such as a large forest or desert. Or it can be small, such as a small pool or a single bush. Each ecosystem has its own collection of living and nonliving things.A swamp ...
Preformation and Epigenesis in the Origins of the Nervous System and Behavior: Issues, Concepts, and their History One of the most enduring and fundamental debates in the history of biology was over the problem of how in each generation a complex, functioning organism could arise from the vastly...
In Pragmatism's Evolution, Trevor Pearce demonstrates that the philosophical tradition of pragmatism owes an enormous debt to specific biological debates in the late 1800s, especially those concerning the role of the environment in development and evolution. Many are familiar with John Dewey's 1909 ...

3: Mechanisms of Plasticity: Eco-Devo pathways as environmental cue and response systems 4: Ecological Development as Niche Construction: How plasticity shapes the environment an organism experiences 5: Habitat Construction and Functional Feedbacks: How organisms modify their external conditions ...
The study of interactions that take place between organisms and their environment.resources. ... Anything needed by an organism for life. Why is cell called the building blocks of life? A cell is the smallest, basic unit of life responsible for all of life's processes. Cells are the struct...
mechanistic knowledge of organism–environment interactions, including biomechanical interactions of heat, mass and momentum transfer, can be integrated into basic theoretical population biology through mechanistic functional responses that quantitatively describe how organisms respond to their physical environment....
The neurointeractive paradigm: dynamical mechanics and the emergence of higher cortical function This paradigm recognizes the closed architecture of the behaving organism with respect to motor/sensory integration within a dynamic environment where the majority of sensory activity is the direct consequence of...
aAn organism’s reaction to being placed in an environment to which it is not well adapted can sometimes illustrate the problems that have been solved by the adaptations of organisms indigenous to that environment. 有机体的反应对安置在不是好的适应的它的环境可能有时说明由有机体适应解决了土产对那...
