Balancing the Synthesis

Kimler, W. (2023, March 1). Journal of the History of Biology, Vol. 3.

By: W. Kimler n

topics (OpenAlex): Twentieth Century Scientific Developments; Chemistry and Chemical Engineering; Evolution and Science Education
TL;DR: Hagen shows how in a variety of ways the dominant strands of ecology and the evolutionary synthesis built upon the pervasive use and reconceptualizing of the idea of homeostasis in systems, revealing how organismal biology moved away from vitalism, superorganism, and teleological notions, while laying foundations for the emergence of the disciplines of population ecology, comparative physiological ecology, and evolutionary ecology.
