∙ 13y ago"Predation" is the process of one animal preying on another. In other words, one animal, the predator, stalks and eats another animal, the prey. There are different types of predation, but in true predation, the predator kills and consumes the prey. Predation ecology is the study of this natural process.

What are the four levels of ecology?
The four levels of ecology include: (1) organismal ecology, which is concerned with adaptations that enable organisms to meet challenges posed by their abiotic environment. For example, a salamander is restricted to moist environments because their skin does not prevent dehydration; (2) population ecologyconcentrates on factors that affect population density and growth; (3) community ecology focuses on species interactions, such as predation and competition that impact the structure and organization of a community. Finally, (4) ecosystem ecology addresses questions that concern energy flow and the cycling of chemicals, i.e. what processes recycle vital chemical elements, like nitrogen for both biotic and abiotic factors.
What are the related disciplines and approaches under ecology?
