The key issue is whether and why the biosphere might tend towards stability and self-regulation. We review the various ways in which these issues have been addressed by evolutionary and ecological theory, and relate these to ‘Gaia theory’. We then ask how this theory extends the perspectives offered by these disciplines, and how it might be tested by novel modelling approaches and laboratory experiments using emergent technologies."}],"type":"journal_article","day":"01","author":[{"full_name":"Free, Andrew","first_name":"Andrew","last_name":"Free"},{"orcid":"0000-0002-8548-5240","first_name":"Nicholas H","last_name":"Barton","id":"4880FE40-F248-11E8-B48F-1D18A9856A87","full_name":"Nicholas Barton"}],"publication":"Trends in Ecology and Evolution","doi":"10.1016/j.tree.2007.07.007","page":"611 - 619","month":"11","date_updated":"2021-01-12T07:55:35Z","quality_controlled":0,"title":"Do evolution and ecology need the Gaia hypothesis?","status":"public","intvolume":"        22","volume":22,"date_created":"2018-12-11T12:07:49Z","publist_id":"1856","year":"2007","publisher":"Cell Press"}
