Ecologists construct models to help them understand the environment and to make predictions about how the environment might change. Just this little answer was hard to find. hope this is enough to answer your question. peace!!
because theres so many animals
ecology
Of course they can. They have plenty of fashion styles that tomboys wear, right? Exactly. And who do you think models the clothes? Tomboy models do. Preppy models that wear dresses wont do it, so someone has to.
because the earth is too big to look at all in one so we use models
Maps are an example of a physical model. These types of models are used by people everyday. Physical models represent real things except at a much smaller scale so they are relatable to humans.
Ecology is the study of interactions among organisms. In ecology are quick and done in a lab models help.

Models are useful in science, because it is easier for some to understand then words.

It depends on your definition of "useful." In regards to whether caterpillars are beneficial to nature, they are an essential aspect of ecology on numerous levels.

so it is easier to understand. Look in a microscope afterwards to see the real thing
because they are :)
