The bioecological model of development is the mature and final revision of Urie Bronfenbrenner's ecological system theory. The primary focus of ecological systems theory is on the systemic examination of contextual variability in development processes. It focuses on the world outside the developing person and how they were affected by it.
An example of changing sociohistorical circumstances is the increase in opportunities for women to pursue a career during the last thirty years. [15] Later work by Bronfenbrenner considered the role of biology in this model as well; thus the theory has sometimes been called the bioecological model. [16]
Examples of systems are health systems, education systems, food systems, and economic systems. ... The bioecological model of human development. In W. Damon & R. M ...
A structural diagram of the open ocean plankton ecosystem model of Fasham, Ducklow & McKelvie (1990). [1]An ecosystem model is an abstract, usually mathematical, representation of an ecological system (ranging in scale from an individual population, to an ecological community, or even an entire biome), which is studied to better understand the real system.
This framework, broadly referred to as 'ecological systems theory', was formalized in an article published in American Psychologist, [3] articulated in a series of propositions and hypotheses in his most cited book, The Ecology of Human Development [4] and further developed in The Bioecological Model of Human Development [5] and later writings.
For example, the behavior of the California thrasher is consistent with the chaparral habitat it lives in—it breeds and feeds in the underbrush and escapes from its predators by shuffling from underbrush to underbrush. Its 'niche' is defined by the felicitous complementing of the thrasher's behavior and physical traits (camouflaging color ...

For example, there is vigorous resistance to the widespread assumptions that one can legitimately speak of genes ‘for’ specific phenotypic characters or that adaptation consists of evolution ‘shaping’ the more or less passive species, as opposed to adaptation consisting of organisms actively selecting, defining, shaping and often ...
