More on how and why: cause and effect in biology revisited (2013, background): “…1982, 1983; Odling-Smee et al. 2003), like related developmental systems approaches (Waddington 1969; Gottlieb 1992; Griffiths and Gray 1994; Oyama et al. 2001), exemplifies a reciprocal view of the interaction of proximate and ultimate factors, with researchers stressing how organisms…”
Everything Flows : Towards a Processual Philosophy of Biology (2018, background): “Now recall that reproduction, properly understood, comprises not only inheritance processes (such as genetic replication) but also developmental ones; and these in turn draw on a highly heterogeneous range of causal factors (Oyama et al. 2001), which means that all of the latter contribute, too, to ”
Unlocking the Black Box between Genotype and Phenotype: Cell Condensations as Morphogenetic (modular) Units (2003, background): “Despite calls to the contrary (Jablonka and Lamb 1998; Oyama et al. 2001), genes are the hereditary units whose passage through multiple generations can be modified by mutation and selection (Hall 1999, 2001a).”
Towards a Developmental Turn in Evolutionary Economic Geography? (2015, background): “DST is less well formulated but more expansive in orientation, and has its roots in psycho-biology and behavioural psychology (OYAMA, 2000; OYAMA et al., 2001; GRAY, 2001; ROBERT et al., 2001; GRIFFITHS and GRAY, 1994, 2005).”
Dynamic Systems Theory and the Complexity of Change (2005, background): “Oyama, Griffiths, and Gray (2001) call these the “cycles of contingency,” because the ensemble literally creates itself through reiterative activity.”
Cultural Niche Construction: An Introduction (2011, background): “Alongside others (e.g., Gottlieb 1998, 2000, 2002; Oyama et al. 2001; Odling-Smee et al. 2003; Bickerton 2009; Layton 2010; Plotkin 2010; Kendal et al. 2011), we suggest (Laland et al. 2000; Laland and O’Brien 2010; O’Brien and Laland 2012) that this active, constructive conception of the role of…”
Anthropogenic Noise and its Effect on Animal Communication: An Interface Between Comparative Psychology and Conservation Biology (2003, background): “Human disturbances are imposed on animals that are otherwise living in the context of the rich environmental resources historically available in their developmental systems ( Oyama, Griffiths, & Gray, 2001 ).”
Niche Construction Theory and Archaeology (2010, background): “In recent years, NCT has gathered momentum, largely through the development of formal population genetics theory, which has demonstrated that niche construction strongly affects evolutionary outcomes (Odling-Smee 1988; Laland et al. 1996, 1999; Odling-Smee et al. 1996, 2003; Lewontin 2000; Oyama et”
Human nature and cognitive–developmental niche construction (2010, background): “In developmental systems necessary genetic resources are complemented by equally necessary and reliably reproduced epigenetic, bodily, social, ecological, epistemic and symbolic resources for development (Oyama 1985; Oyama et al. 2001; Griffiths and Gray 1994; Griffiths and Gray 2004).”
U-Shaped Changes in Behavior: A Dynamic Systems Perspective (2004, background): “Oyama, Griffiths, and Gray (2001) have character- ized development as continuous “cycles of contingency.””
Discussion: Three Ways to Misunderstand Developmental Systems Theory (2005, background): “The biologists who contributed to Cycles of Contingency… do not advocate 'developmental evolution' or the 'generative paradigm' (see especially Bateson 2001), and the philosophers who comment on DST in that volume all take its central ideas to be compatible with a range of more or less…”
