ecology
ecology The study of the interrelationships between organisms and their natural environment, both living and nonliving. For this purpose, ecologists study organisms in the context of the
populations and
communities in which they can be grouped and the
ecosystems of which they form a part. The study of ecological interactions provides important information on the nature and mechanisms of evolutionary change. Advances made in ecology over the last 25 years have led to increased concern about the effects of human activities on the environment (notably the effects of
pollution), which has resulted in a greater awareness of the importance of
conservation.
