Ecology is the study of living organisms and their relationship to their environment and each other. Types of ecology include, but are not limited to population ecology, community ecology and behavioral ecology. Any situation in which living organisms and their relationship to their environment and each other is being studied could be considered ecology. And example could be studying the spread of an invasive species in a new environment or studying the relationship between availability of a particular resource and the size of a population.
Any plant or animal that consumes (eats) nutrients (food). EXAMPLES: Birds, worms, humans, tigers, ferrets, cats, caterpillars, etc.
A non-example of ecology would be a discipline like chemistry, which focuses on the properties and behaviors of matter and the interactions between substances. Unlike ecology, which studies the relationships and interactions between living organisms and their environments, chemistry does not consider biological relationships or ecosystems. Another example could be the study of mathematics, which deals with numbers, quantities, and shapes, rather than the interactions among living organisms.
Ecology is important in the study of living organisms.
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).
Trust for Urban Ecology was created in 1976.
