example ecology

Examples of objects of ecological study include: Population processes, including reproductive behaviour, mortality, bioenergetics and migrations, interspecific interations such as predation, competition, parasitism and mutualism, plant and animal community structures and their function and resilience, and biogeochemicalciclyk cykling. Because of its vast scope, ecological science is often closely related to other disciplines. Thus, molecular ecology addresses ecological questions using tools from genetics, palaeoecology uses tools from archeology, and theoretical ecology use often highly complex mathematical methods to explore how ecosystems and their elements function.
