The Extended Phenotype is a conceptually deep book that forms important reading for biologists and students. But Dawkins' clear exposition is accessible to all who are prepared to put in a little effort. Oxford Landmark Science books are 'must-read' classics of modern science writing which have crystallized big ideas, and shaped the way we think.
The term ‘extended phenotype’ has gained wide currency since its invention by Richard Dawkins in The Extended Phenotype (Dawkins 1999, henceforth EP) and is considered an essential component of selfish gene theory (Haig 2012; Scott-Phillips et al. 2014). A Web of Science search during September 2014, for example, returned 24 items over the ...
The Extended Phenotype is a classic book by Richard Dawkins that explores the concept of genes influencing not only the bodies of organisms, but also their environments and interactions. The book offers a provocative and original perspective on evolution, genetics and ecology, and challenges the conventional views of natural selection and adaptation. The book is published by Oxford University ...
1. Jan. 2013 · The first of the three extended phenotypes to be considered was animal architecture. The classic example is the beaver dam, which is a physical representation of beaver behavior that increases the fitness of the genes encoding the building behavior. The second extended phenotype is parasite manipulation of host behavior.

19. Mai 2024 · Quick Reference. The concept, advanced by British evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins in his 1982 book of the same title, that the phenotype of an organism extends beyond its body to encompass the organism's behaviour and the consequences of that behaviour. Dawkins cites a beaver's lake as an example. This manifestation of the beaver's ...
5. Aug. 1999 · The Extended Phenotype carries on from where The Selfish Gene takes off. It is a fascinating look at the evolution of life and natural selection. Dawkins's theory is that individual organisms are replicators that have extended phenotypic effects on society and the world at large, thus our genes have the ability to manipulate other individuals. A worldwide bestseller, this book has become a ...
