Human Emotions: An Evolutionary Psychological Perspective (2016, background): “Adaptations that promote an organism’s survival to the detriment of its overall reproductive success, on the other hand, are entirely absent (Alcock, 2009; Dawkins, 1976, 1999).”
Is the Flynn effect on g?: A meta-analysis (2013, background): “…is a strong genetic component to group differences, whereas Nisbett (2009) argues that group differences are wholly due to Blacks and non-Western immigrants growing up in a lower-quality environment (see also Dawkins, 1982; Meisenberg, 2010; Nyborg, 2012, Wicherts, Dolan, Carlson, & Maas, 2010).”
Prevalence and Mechanisms of Partial Migration in Ungulates (2019, methodology): “In this review, we define migration as a behavioral tactic (sensu Dominey, 1984; Gross, 1996; Dawkins, 1999) describing a movement type that is exhibited by individuals (Table 1).”
Geomorphology and ecology: Unifying themes for complex systems in biogeomorphology (2006, background): “This recursiveness has the potential to become canalized through time, whereby it is encoded in organisms, and to an extent the immediate environment (Dawkins, 1999; Lewontin, 2000).”
Evolution of the social contract (2014, background): “Many scholars have argued that in order for a signal to evolve, it must be honest [Dawkins and Krebs, 1978, Krebs et al., 1984, Smith and Harper, 2003, Zahavi and Zahavi, 1997]. For a signal to be honest, it must have the property that it accurately conveys salient information about the sender to th”
Everything Flows : Towards a Processual Philosophy of Biology (2018, background): “Selection cannot take place unless some other process has already provided the pertinent variants, and the modern synthesis assumption ²⁵ It is important not to confuse niche construction with the notion of the extended phenotype (Dawkins 1982), as they imply opposite ontologies.”
A Manifesto for a Processual Philosophy of Biology (2018, background): “Whereas in the context of substance ontology it may seem natural to conceive of replication as simply the copying and production of one thing on the basis of another—something akin to making a photocopy (cf. Dawkins 1982)—the generation of one process by another is a rather different matter.”
The Hidden World within Plants: Ecological and Evolutionary Considerations for Defining Functioning of Microbial Endophytes (2015, background): “The plant microbiome can be considered an extension of the host phenotype (302, 305), and the plant secretory machinery has been suggested to play an important role in establishing an extended phenotype with microbial life (306).”
Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “Standard evolutionary theory treats niche construction as phenotypic, or extended phenotypic (Dawkins 1990), consequences of prior selection, not as a cause of evolutionary change.”
Dynamic interactions of life and its landscape: feedbacks at the interface of geomorphology and ecology (2010, background): “Such situations have been termed an ‘extended phenotype’ (Dawkins, 1999) or ‘niche construction’ (Laland et al., 1999; Odling-Smee, 2003), and suggest that biology and landscape formation can feed back to simultaneously infl uence one another.”
