Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the environment. It is not the same thing as environmentalism, but the two are related. Ecology and the Biosphere
Population: individuals of the same species Community: all of the species that live in an area Ecosystem: abiotic factors as well as the community Biosphere: the global ecosystem. Ecology and the Biosphere
Ecosystem ecology deals with energy flow and chemical cycling among biotic and abiotic components. Ecology and the Biosphere
The distribution of species Ecology and the Biosphere
The distribution of species Dispersal: natural range expansion species transplants Ecology and the Biosphere
The distribution of species Behavior and habitat selection Ecology and the Biosphere
Biotic factors: predators parasites competition disease The distribution of species Behavior and habitat selection
