• Runaway Social Selection for Displays of Partner Value and Altruism (2007, background): “This process offers a dramatic example of a Baldwin effect, in which learning shapes adaptive behavior patterns that create new selection forces that rapidly facilitate better ability to exploit the new niche (Dennett 1995; Laland et al. 2000; Weber and Depew 2003; West-Eberhard 2003; Ananth 2005).”
• Imitative and Direct Learning as Interacting Factors in Life History Evolution (2017, unknown): “Another learning-cost issue relates to the interaction between learning and evolution and the Baldwin effect [3, 23, 81, 85].”
• Radar Spectrum Engineering and Management: Technical and Regulatory Issues (2015, background): “Furthermore, taking a Baldwinian evolutionary perspective [52], it is also clear that systems must be designed specifically for the spectral environment in which they will operate, which in turn results in further shaping of that environment.”
• Nongenetic Selection and Nongenetic Inheritance (2004, background): “Often, co-evolution and co-speciation of parasitic birds and their hosts take place (Paterson and Gray [1996]; Clayton and Moore [1996]; Rothstein and Robinson [1998]).”
• Where do mirror neurons come from? (2010, background): “By appealing to ‘exaptation’ (Gould and Vrba, 1982) or ‘Baldwin effects’ (Weber and Depew, 2003), it may be possible to formulate other adaptation-association hybrid hypotheses, but this is unlikely to be a fruitful direction for future research.”
• Lifetime Learning as a Factor in Life History Evolution (2009, unknown): “Otherwise, innate behavior would be adequate [7], though, where possible, the costs of learning will tend to result in genetic assimilation of the learned behaviors [3, 36].”
