Niche Construction

Niche construction is the process of organisms manipulating their environment in ways that can influence their evolution. This concept has been studied in fields such as ecology, biology, evolution, and anthropology. It has powerful implications for understanding how organisms interact with their environment and how different species interact with each other throughout the evolutionary process. In addition to understanding evolution, niche construction is essential to understanding the impact of humans on ecosystems, how certain species can become invasive to new environments, and how species and ecosystems can become more resilient to climate change.
