The Hutchinson niche is an n-dimensional hypervolume, where the dimensions are environmental conditions and resources, that define the requirements of an individual or a species to practice its way of life. The pattern of phenotypes produced by a given genotype under different environmental conditions is the norm of reaction.
It's a good question I'm trying to solve in my PhD with Anopheles mosquitoes
Great! Could you share any Idea on how this issue should be tackled?
Considering the contemporary developments of the biology, there is a exciting field called Eco-Evo.. In particular the niche construction theory have built the bridge between the two areas. I'm sure you will find the answer or at least it would provide to you more connections between these concepts.
