生态进化发育生物学（英语：Ecological evolutionary developmental biology）的主要目标是揭示生物体环境、基因和发育之间相互作用的规律，并将这些规律纳入进化理论。在本章中，我们将讨论生态进化发展中的一些关键和新兴概念。这些概念表明，在生物组织的多个层次上，环境是基因型和表型变异的来源和诱导物，而发育则是一种调节剂，可以掩盖、释放或创造新的变异组合。自然选择可以随后修复这种变异，产生新的表型。结合生态进化发展和生态基因组学的方法将相互丰富这些领域的方式，不仅将提高我们的进化的理解，但也的遗传机制的生物体对自然环境的反应。
The major goal of ecological evolutionary developmental biology, also known as "eco-evo-devo," is to uncover the rules that underlie the interactions between an organism's environment, genes, and development and to incorporate these rules into evolutionary theory. In this chapter, we discuss some key and emerging concepts within eco-evo-devo. These concepts show that the environment is a source and inducer of genotypic and phenotypic variation at multiple levels of biological organization, while development acts as a regulator that can mask, release, or create new combinations of variation. Natural selection can subsequently fix this variation, giving rise to novel phenotypes. Combining the approaches of eco-evo-devo and ecological genomics will mutually enrich these fields in a way that will not only enhance our understanding of evolution, but also of the genetic mechanisms underlying the responses of organisms to their natural environments.
