    • نبذة مختصرة :
      We characterize four fruitful and underappreciated epistemic roles played by the concept of an individualized niche in contemporary biology, utilizing results of a qualitative empirical study conducted within an interdisciplinary biological research center. We argue that the in-dividualized niche concept (1) shapes the research agenda of the center, (2) facilitates ex-plaining core phenomena related to inter-individual differences, (3) helps with managing in-dividual-level causal complexity, and (4) promotes integrating local knowledge from ecolo-gy, evolutionary biology, behavioral biology and other biological fields. We thereby also challenge arguments that the niche concept is superfluous in ecology.
