Ecology addresses the relationships between organisms and with their environment. Freshwater ecology studies those relationships in freshwater (non-salty water) environments.
This study represents the field of freshwater ecology, specifically focusing on how water quality influences stream invertebrate populations and communities. Understanding these interactions is vital for assessing the health of freshwater ecosystems.
Dr. John A. "Jack" McNair is a notable Caribbean zoologist known for his work in aquatic ecology and environmental science. He focuses on the biodiversity and conservation of aquatic ecosystems in the Caribbean region. His research has contributed significantly to understanding the impacts of environmental changes on marine and freshwater species.
Branches of ecology include population ecology (study of how populations of organisms interact with their environment), community ecology (study of interactions between species in a given area), ecosystem ecology (study of the flow of energy and matter through ecosystems), and conservation ecology (study of how to protect and preserve biodiversity).
Related disciplines and approaches under ecology include environmental science, conservation biology, population ecology, community ecology, landscape ecology, and ecosystem ecology. These disciplines study interactions between organisms and their environment at different levels of organization, from individuals to ecosystems, to understand how ecosystems function and how they can be managed and conserved.
