Nischmodellering, often translated as niche modeling or niche construction, is a concept within evolutionary biology that describes the process by which organisms modify their environment and, in turn, are influenced by these modifications. It moves beyond the traditional view of evolution as solely driven by adaptation to a pre-existing environment. Instead, it highlights the active role organisms play in shaping the conditions under which they and future generations live.
