ecology - ANSWER study of interactions among organisms and their enviroment
Biotic interactions - ANSWER Interactions among living things
Abiotic Interactions - ANSWER Between organisms and the nonliving enviroment
Enviromental science - ANSWER Application of ecology to real world problems
Physiological ecology - ANSWER Investigates how organisms are physiologically adapted to their
enviroment
Behavioral ecology - ANSWER Investigates how individual behavior contributes to survival and
reproductive success
Populations ecology - ANSWER Focus on groups of interbreeding individuals, called populations
What is the goal of population ecololgy - ANSWER Understand factors affecting populations growth,
density and size

Community ecology - ANSWER Studies how populations of species interact and form functional
communities
, What does community ecology focus on - ANSWER Why some areas are species rich while others are
species-poor
Succession - ANSWER How species composition and community structure change over time, particulary
after disturbance
