Acknowledgments This paper found its impetus in conversations with Austin Booth, and many of the ideas were worked out in discussion with him. I also thank Peter Godfrey-Smith, Jessie McCormack, Maureen O’Malley, Thomas Pradeu, the participants of the 2015 Philosophy of Biology at Dolphin Beach workshop, and three anonymous reviewers for their help and useful comments.
