行为生态学家越来越多地联合研究个体内部和个体之间的行为差异，从而将表型可塑性和动物个性的研究整合在一个单一的适应框架内。个人之间的相互作用(参见社会环境)是在这两个等级层面上行为差异的主要原因。社会互动产生了复杂的“互动表型”和群体层面的涌现属性。这种类型的表型具有耐人寻味的进化含义，为其研究提供了一个连贯的框架。我们在这里详细说明如何应用反应规范框架来有效地整合在行为生态学和数量遗传学中发展起来的社会环境理论。建议的新框架促进了社会环境在对个体内和个体之间不同的表型特征的适应性研究中的坚定整合。
Behavioural ecologists increasingly study behavioural variation within and among individuals in conjunction, thereby integrating research on phenotypic plasticity and animal personality within a single adaptive framework. Interactions between individuals (cf. social environments) constitute a major causative factor of behavioural variation at both of these hierarchical levels. Social interactions give rise to complex 'interactive phenotypes' and group-level emergent properties. This type of phenotype has intriguing evolutionary implications, warranting a cohesive framework for its study. We detail here how a reaction-norm framework might be applied to usefully integrate social environment theory developed in behavioural ecology and quantitative genetics. The proposed emergent framework facilitates firm integration of social environments in adaptive research on phenotypic characters that vary within and among individuals.
