The myth of language universals: language diversity and its importance for cognitive science. (2009, background): “The rapidly expanding theory of co-evolution explores the twin-track descent mechanisms of culture and biology, and the feedback loops between them (Durham 1991; Boyd & Richerson 2005; Laland et al. 2000; Odling-Smee et al. 2003).”
Wood-decaying fungi in the forest: conservation needs and management options (2007, background): “niches (Odling-Smee et al. 2003), the wide variety of which reXects the potential decay pathways and ecological successions, together with the variety of the starting material.”
Studying Complex Adaptive Systems (2006, background): “Successful models of this kind would provide improved ways of describing ecological networks with feedback, co-evolution, and phenotypic plasticity([10]).”
Defining and measuring ecological specialization (2010, background): “Other concepts, more or less related to historical developments of the niche concept have also been proposed (e.g. niche construction, Odling-Smee et al. 2003; ecological versatility, MacNally 1995).”
Three Continents Claiming an Archipelago: The Evolution of Aegean's Herpetofaunal Diversity (2010, background): “as well as between the later and the environment both submitting to its changes and causing it to change [48].”
Ecological drivers of the Ediacaran-Cambrian diversification of Metazoa (2012, unknown): “Persistent ecological modifications form a sort of ecological inheritance, influencing the environment, and thus the fitness, of other species as well as themselves independent of genetic inheritance (Laland et al. 1999; Laland and Sterelny 2006; Odling-Smee et al. 2003).”
Discussion: Three Ways to Misunderstand Developmental Systems Theory (2005, background): “These include organism–environment co-evolution (Brandon and Antonovics 1996), multiple heredity systems (Jablonka and Lamb 1995; Jablonka and Avital 2001), and niche construction (Odling-Smee 1988; Laland et al. 2001; Odling-Smee et al. 2003).”
Towards a unified science of cultural evolution. (2006, methodology): “…Arthur 364 BEHAVIORAL AND BRAIN SCIENCES (2006) 29:4 (1997), Davidson (2001), Schlosser and Wagner (2004), Carroll (2005), and others drive an expansive adaptive radiation of the new theory that even reaches culture, with Oyama et al. (2001), Jablonka and Lamb (2005), and Odling-Smee et al. (2003).”
Ecology in an anthropogenic biosphere (2015, background): “…construction theory holds that, by enhancing or degrading environments in ways that increase or decrease the adaptive fitness of later generations, or that of other species interacting with a given environment, organisms produce an ‘‘ecological inheritance’’ (Table 1; Odling-Smee et al. 2003c).”
The extended evolutionary synthesis: its structure, assumptions and predictions (2015, background): “the generation of adaptation) does not rest on selection alone [12,19,25,27,60,64,73,99–101].”
How to situate cognition: Letting nature take its course (2009, background): “Exemplars include Zenon Pylyshyn's Computation and Cognition (1984) and the physical symbol system hypothesis (see Newell and Simon 1976, Newell 1980) according to which cognition is the algorithmic manipulation of symbol structures.”
Cultural Niche Construction: An Introduction (2011, background): “…not only genetic and cultural inheritance but also take account of the legacy of modified selection pressures in environments (Laland et al. 2000; Odling-Smee et al. 2003; Laland and O’Brien 2010; see Odling-Smee and Laland 2012, this issue, for a discussion of the relationship between…”
How Biology Became Social, and What it Means for Social Theory (2014, background): “Alongside developmental systems theory, there have been other important strands such as multiple heredity systems (Jablonka and Lamb, 2005) and niche construction (Laland et al., 2001; Odling-Smee et al., 2003).”
