Conclusions: What Future For Model Organisms? 330 $aThis Element presents a philosophical exploration of the concept of the 'model organism' in contemporary biology. Thinking about model organisms enables us to examine how living organisms have been brought into the laboratory and used to gain a better understanding of biology, and to explore the research practices, commitments, and norms underlying this understanding. We contend that model organisms are key components of a distinctive way of doing research. We focus on what makes model organisms an important type of model, and how the use of these models has shaped biological knowledge, including how model organisms represent, how they are used as tools for intervention, and how the representational commitments linked to their use as models affect the research practices associated with them. 410 0$aCambridge elements.$pElements in the philosophy of biology,$x2515-1126. 606 $aBiology 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aBiology. 676 $a570 700 $aAnkeny$b Rachel A.$01252885 702 $aLeonelli$b Sabina 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910585962003321 996 $aModel organisms$92904704 997 $aUNINA
