I've heard this idea (I think) expressed as, "All organisms garden". It also reminds me of Dawkins' "Extended Phenotype", and the ultimate ecological niche: Gaia, the self-regulating "niche" between vacuum and magma, between Sol and Nuit.
(Nuit is the Egyptian Goddess of the Night Sky. I'm being poetical referring to how we need both a nearby but not-too-close star and the cold sky to have an energy gradient for life.)
I’m interested in this and wanted to read more, but every time I scroll the page reloads and eventually crashes (iOS Safari)
incentives matter. if you arent doing well on the test, change the questions!
