niche construction 森林中某种蚂蚁只栖息在一种树上，在那里筑巢，吃那种树的树叶，有其他树或者植物在附近生长的话，蚂蚁就会去放毒，这样就只有它赖以生存的树可以很好生长，获得更多资源，进而枝繁叶茂，蚂蚁的领地也不断壮大
Niche construction talks about a biological phenomenon that when the natural habitat of a species is threatened by the surrounding, the species living on the habitat will take specific measures to protect its habitat and therefore, the natural habitat is protected. The professor talked about an example of an ant species. They live on a specific kind of tree, nestling and dining on the tree. But if there is another kind of tree starting to grow around the tree they live on, the ants will release poisonous chemicals to devastate the invading tree and the tree they live on will thus gain more natural resources and grow into prosperity, together with the growth of the ant species.
