BioScience, 2021 Abstract Organisms interact with their environments in various ways. We present a conceptual framework that distinguishes three mechanisms of organism–environment interaction. We call these NC3 mechanisms: niche construction, in which individuals make changes to the environment; niche choice, in which individuals select an environment;

This Niche Is a Maze; An Amazing Niche [PDF]
Cell Stem Cell, 2013 The cellular identity of niche cells that regulate hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal and differentiation has been debated for several years. Two recent studies in Nature (Ding and Morrison, 2013; Greenbaum et al., 2013) have shed light into the bone marrow stromal subsets making CXCL12, a chemokine critical for HSC maintenance.

Defining the niche for niche construction: evolutionary and ecological niches [PDF]
Biology & Philosophy, 2021 AbstractNiche construction theory (NCT) aims to transform and unite evolutionary biology and ecology. Much of the debate about NCT has focused on construction. Less attention has been accorded to the niche: what is it, exactly, that organisms are constructing?

Trends in Ecology & Evolution, 2023 The environmental niche concept describes the distribution of a taxon in the environment and can be used to understand community dynamics, biological invasions, and the impact of environmental changes. The uses and applications are still restricted in microbial ecology, largely due to the complexity of microbial systems and associated methodological ...

A critical review of the recent advances in inclusion-triggered localized corrosion in steel
npj Materials Degradation, 2022 Localized corrosion triggered by inclusions is prone to metallic material failure. Except for chemical dissolution of some special inclusions, the principle of galvanic coupling is the most acceptable theory to explain the above corrosion damage ...

Noûs, 1999 The concept of niche (setting, context, habitat, environment) has been little studied by ontologists, in spite of its wide application in a variety of disciplines from evolutionary biology to economics. What follows is a first formal theory of this concept, a theory of the relations between objects and their niches. The theory builds upon existing work
