- Niche Construction
- The identical structure — agent action enters its own selection function, intervention means cutting the loop at one of three points — governs road networks inducing the land use that justifies more roads, and antibiotic use reshaping the pathogen population that then selects future stewardship.
This sourceExtends the niche-construction framework across biological and cultural substrates, including antibiotic use reshaping pathogen populations.
Supported in partVerified against the publisher's abstract
The abstract supports only the general niche-construction frame — cultural organisms altering the selection pressures acting on them — and says nothing about road networks, antibiotic stewardship, or a three-point typology.
“Culture amplifies the capacity of human beings to modify sources of naturalselection in their environments to the point where that capacity raises some new questions about the processes of human adaptation.”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Confirmed. This work's DOI resolves to a registered record, which fixes its identity. That is all it fixes.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
