“社会生态位”一词的使用正在迅速增加，特别是在“社会生态位建设”的背景下。但什么是社会利基（如果有的话）？在这里，我们调查了使用该术语的论文，以揭示其定义中的共性和差异。我们的目标是提醒研究人员需要更多的一致性，在如何在文献中使用的术语，我们提供了一个工作定义的“社会生态位“：一套社会环境中的焦点个人具有非零的包容性健身。我们认为在何种程度上的社会生态位是类似的生态位，讨论是否可以有意义地确定一个人口水平的社会生态位，并描述概念的见解的属性的社会生态位，侧重于社会生态位的建设。我们强调的问题，需要更多的理论和经验的关注社会生态位。
The term “social niche” is rapidly increasing in usage, particularly in the context of “social niche construction.” But what (if anything) is a social niche? Here, we survey papers that have used the term to uncover commonalities and discrepancies in its definition. We aim to alert researchers to the need for more consistency in how the term is used in the literature, and we provide a working definition of “social niche:” the set of social environments in which the focal individual has non-zero inclusive fitness. We consider the extent to which a social niche is analogous to an ecological niche, discuss whether a population-level social niche can be meaningfully identified, and describe conceptual insights about the properties of social niches, focusing on social niche construction. We highlight questions about social niches that demand more theoretical and empirical attention.
