Ecology, Agents, and the Causes of Selection : A Reply to Shuker

Svensson, Erik I. LU orcid (2023) In Evolutionary Biology - New Perspectives on its Development 6. p.225-227
Abstract

Shuker points to some inconsistencies in my terminology about consequence laws in evolutionary biology, specifically that gene flow and recombination are not as easily classified as one gets the impression of after reading Sober (1984). I agree, and I also emphasize that evolutionary biology should not only focus on consequence laws, but also source laws arising from the ecological selective environments and the agents of selection that arise as a consequence of the organismal-environment interaction.
