Extended phenotype: All effects of a gene upon the world where the effects influence the survival chance of a gene [Richard Dawkins].
Richard Dawkins' books The Selfish Gene (1976) and The Extended Phenotype (1982) defended the idea that the gene is the only replicator in living systems.
The idea of the phenotype has been generalized by Richard Dawkins to include effects on other organisms or the environment in The Extended Phenotype.
