Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. It was coined in 1866 by German biologist Ernst Haeckel and comes from the Greek words "oikos" meaning house and "logos" meaning study. There are six levels of ecological organization: individual, population, community, ecosystem, biome, and biosphere. Ecology has many branches including plant ecology, animal ecology, human ecology, applied ecology, medical ecology, ecophysiology, functional ecology, and fire ecology. Experts in ecology are called ecologists.

Lesson 1. concept of ecology
This document provides an overview of key concepts in ecology and environmental biology, including:
1) It defines ecology as the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environment.
2) It describes producers, consumers, food chains, food webs, and trophic levels within ecosystems.
3) It explains ecological pyramids and how energy and biomass decrease at higher trophic levels.
4) It outlines ecological interactions like competition, predation, and the three types of symbiosis - mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism.
Introduction to ecology
Ecology is the scientific study of organisms `at home' which is called as the `environment'. The term `environment' refers to those parts of the world or the total set of circumstances which surround an organism or a group of organisms.

Ecology definition & scope
Ecology is the study of living organisms and their interactions with each other and their environments. It has many branches that study specific areas like behavior, physiology, evolution, ecosystems, populations, communities, and landscapes. Key branches also include conservation biology, restoration ecology, ecotoxicology, and molecular ecology. Solving ecological problems requires considering biotic factors like competition, quantitative factors like population sizes, climatic factors like temperature and chemistry, taxonomy, and genetic/evolutionary aspects. Ecology blends aspects of other biological sciences to study the complex relationships between organisms and their environments.
Ecosystem services
The document discusses ecosystem services and provides several examples. It defines ecosystem services as benefits that people derive from ecosystems. The Millennium Ecosystem Assessment identified four categories of services: provisioning, regulating, cultural, and supporting. Examples of services from various ecosystems are given, including forests, wetlands, rivers, reservoirs, and marine systems. The document emphasizes that many ecosystem services are often undervalued in decision making despite their importance to human well-being.
Energy flow in ecosystem
It is quite interesting to note that the only producer of food in the entire world is PLANT. All others are consumers, and depend only on plants to provide food to all the living organisms and species.
Ecological Niche details ..
This document discusses ecological niches and the relationships between organisms and their environments. It defines key terms like ecology, biotic and abiotic factors, and ecological niche. An ecological niche refers to an organism's role and position in its environment, including what it eats, habitat requirements, and tolerance of environmental conditions. The document contrasts fundamental and realized niches, and explains Hutchinson's niche concept and Gause's competitive exclusion principle. Examples are provided of how different species occupy different niches to avoid competition, such as various finch species on the Galapagos Islands. Habitat is defined as the actual environment an organism lives in, while niche refers more to the specific requirements that allow it to survive and reproduce.

Ecology energy flow pathway in an ecosystem
The document discusses energy flow through ecosystems. It begins by explaining that the sun is the primary energy source for ecosystems and that plants convert the sun's radiant energy into chemical energy through photosynthesis. This chemical energy then passes through food chains, with approximately 10% of the energy being transferred to each higher trophic level. Various models and laws are described that illustrate principles like the one-way flow of energy and the inefficiencies of transfers between trophic levels. Overall, the summary emphasizes that sunlight powers ecosystems by being converted to chemical energy by plants and then traveling through food webs in a step-wise, 10%-losing manner.

These interactions include producer-consumer relationships in food chains and webs, as well as symbiotic relationships like mutualism, commensalism, parasitism, and saprophytism. Succession over time transforms environments like mangrove swamps as pioneer species establish and later species move in.
Ecology 1
Ecology is defined as the science that studies the interactions between organisms and their environment. The term comes from the Greek words "oikos" meaning house or habitation, and "logos" meaning discourse or study. It deals with how organisms live in their environments and interact with biotic factors like other living things as well as abiotic factors such as climate. Ecosystems form through the complex interactions between biotic and abiotic components, with energy flowing in one direction and biogeochemical cycles regulating chemicals. Ecology has many applications and branches including applied ecology, population ecology, limnology, and human ecology.
Ecosystem Services
Natural ecosystems provide numerous ecosystem services that are essential to human well-being and economic activity. These services include provisioning services like food, fiber, fuel and medicines; regulating services like climate regulation, flood and drought mitigation, soil formation, and pest control; and cultural services like inspiration, recreation, and spiritual fulfillment. However, many of these services are being degraded or lost due to human activities like habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change. Properly valuing ecosystem services and incorporating their value into policy and economic decisions is crucial for ensuring their continued supply for future generations.

But, over a long period of time, the climate conditions of an ecosystem is bound to change.
No ecosystem has existed or will remain unchanged over a Geological Time Scale.
Niche concept
Dr. Manju Bhaskar discusses the ecological niche concept. An ecological niche describes a species' functional role and position based on factors like resources, predators, habitat characteristics. G. Evelyn Hutchinson described the fundamental niche, being all conditions a species can survive in alone, and the realized niche, being conditions after interactions with other species. Niches allow populations to persist by reducing competition and filling different roles in food webs and ecosystems. Understanding niches provides insights into community composition and species responses to one another.
Conservation biology
The document provides an overview of conservation biology, including definitions and history. It discusses the meaning of conservation, the early history of conservation efforts dating back thousands of years, and milestones in the field such as the establishment of the first national park in the US in 1872. It also summarizes key topics within conservation biology like biological diversity, genetics, ecology, and periods of mass extinction.
Community ecology...1
Community ecology is the study of the interactions between species within a biological community. A community is defined as an assemblage of plant and animal species that occur together in a specific habitat. Characteristics of a community include species diversity, dominance by one or a few species, trophic structure consisting of producers, consumers, and decomposers, and successional changes over time. Communities can be classified and analyzed based on quantitative characteristics like frequency, density, and cover, and qualitative characteristics like physiognomy, phenology, and stratification. Ecotones form transitional zones between two adjacent communities, and the biological spectrum indicates the distribution of life forms in a community.
Succession
This document discusses ecological succession, which is the process of change in species composition of a community over time. It defines primary and secondary succession, and describes different types of succession including autogenic, allogenic, autotrophic, heterotrophic, progressive, and retrogressive succession. It also discusses Clements' model of succession involving nudation, invasion, ecesis, aggregation, competition, reaction, and stabilization. Finally, it outlines three major theories of climax communities - monoclimax, polyclimax, and climax pattern theory - and three models of succession - facilitation, tolerance, and inhibition.
Bioindicators
A bioindicator is any an "indicator species" or group of species whose function, population, or status reveal the qualitative status of the environment.
Biodiversity concept

Ecosystem | Comprehensive Presentation
An ecosystem is a complex and interconnected web of life that encompasses both living organisms and the non-living components of their environment. It is a dynamic and interdependent system where various species interact with each other and their surroundings, creating a delicate balance that sustains life. The study of ecosystems involves understanding the intricate relationships between biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors, as well as the processes that govern their interactions.
The Concept of an Ecosystem:
An ecosystem is defined as a biological community of organisms, along with their physical and chemical environment, all interacting as a functional unit. This concept emphasizes the interdependence and mutual influence of living organisms and their surroundings.
Components of an Ecosystem:
1. Biotic Factors:
Biotic factors encompass all living organisms within an ecosystem. This includes plants, animals, microorganisms, and fungi. These organisms interact with each other in various ways, forming intricate food webs, relationships, and ecological niches.
2. Abiotic Factors:
Abiotic factors refer to the non-living components of an ecosystem, such as soil, water, air, sunlight, and minerals. These factors play a crucial role in shaping the physical environment of the ecosystem and influencing the distribution and behavior of living organisms within it.
Biotic Factors in Ecosystems:
1. Producers (Autotrophs):
Producers are organisms, mainly plants and some bacteria, capable of synthesizing their own food through photosynthesis. They form the foundation of the food chain by converting solar energy into chemical energy, which is then passed on to other organisms.
2. Consumers (Heterotrophs):
Consumers are organisms that obtain energy by consuming other organisms. They can be classified into herbivores (plant eaters), carnivores (meat eaters), and omnivores (eating both plants and animals). Consumers play a crucial role in regulating population dynamics within an ecosystem.
3. Decomposers:
Decomposers, such as bacteria and fungi, break down dead organic matter into simpler substances, recycling nutrients back into the ecosystem. This process is essential for maintaining soil fertility and sustaining the overall health of the ecosystem.

Ecology is the scientific study of interactions between organisms and their environment, from the level of an individual organism to entire biomes and the biosphere. Ecologists use observation, experimentation, and modeling to understand relationships within different levels of ecological organization, ranging from populations and communities to the global biosphere. Their research aims to reveal interactions between living things and how they relate to each other and their abiotic environments.
Ecology .pdf
Ecology is the study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. It considers organisms at individual, population, community, ecosystem, and biosphere levels. The term "ecology" was coined by Ernst Haeckel in 1866 from the Greek words for "home" and "study." There are various types of ecology including global, landscape, ecosystem, community, population, and organismal ecology. Eugene Odum is considered the father of modern ecology. Ecology has practical applications in conservation, natural resource management, urban planning, and human social interaction.
Ecology
Ecology has a complex origin dating back to ancient Greek philosophers like Aristotle who made early observations of natural history. Modern ecology emerged in the late 19th century as a more rigorous science. Key figures included Ernst Haeckel who coined the term "ecology" and Charles Darwin whose theory of evolution was a cornerstone of ecological thought. Ecology is defined as the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment, and includes variables like species distribution, abundance, and changing states within ecosystems. It is a multidisciplinary field with applications in conservation, natural resource management, and human social systems.

Ecology is defined as the study of the relationships between living organisms and their environment. The term was coined by Ernst Haeckel in 1866 to refer to the inter-relationships between organisms and their environment. Ecology literally means the study of a organism's home or habitat. Modern ecology is often called environmental biology as it examines how organisms interact with each other and their non-living surroundings. A key focus of ecology is understanding ecosystems - the complex set of interactions within a community of organisms and between the community and its physical environment.
Terms and Ecology.pptx
Ecology is the scientific study of the distributions, abundance, and relations of organisms and their interactions with the environment. It includes the study of plants, animals, and other living organisms in communities, ecosystems, and biomes. Ecology is divided into autecology, which is the study of individual species, and synecology, which examines the interactions between species within a community. Key factors studied in ecology include populations, habitats, niches, species, trophic levels, ecotones, and ecosystems. The biosphere represents the global functioning of all ecosystems.

Immersive Learning That Works: Research Grounding and Paths Forward
We will metaverse into the essence of immersive learning, into its three dimensions and conceptual models. This approach encompasses elements from teaching methodologies to social involvement, through organizational concerns and technologies. Challenging the perception of learning as knowledge transfer, we introduce a 'Uses, Practices & Strategies' model operationalized by the 'Immersive Learning Brain' and ‘Immersion Cube’ frameworks. This approach offers a comprehensive guide through the intricacies of immersive educational experiences and spotlighting research frontiers, along the immersion dimensions of system, narrative, and agency. Our discourse extends to stakeholders beyond the academic sphere, addressing the interests of technologists, instructional designers, and policymakers. We span various contexts, from formal education to organizational transformation to the new horizon of an AI-pervasive society. This keynote aims to unite the iLRN community in a collaborative journey towards a future where immersive learning research and practice coalesce, paving the way for innovative educational research and practice landscapes.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptx
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

EWOCS-I: The catalog of X-ray sources in Westerlund 1 from the Extended Weste...
Context. With a mass exceeding several 104 M⊙ and a rich and dense population of massive stars, supermassive young star clusters
represent the most massive star-forming environment that is dominated by the feedback from massive stars and gravitational interactions
among stars.
Aims. In this paper we present the Extended Westerlund 1 and 2 Open Clusters Survey (EWOCS) project, which aims to investigate
the influence of the starburst environment on the formation of stars and planets, and on the evolution of both low and high mass stars.
The primary targets of this project are Westerlund 1 and 2, the closest supermassive star clusters to the Sun.
Methods. The project is based primarily on recent observations conducted with the Chandra and JWST observatories. Specifically,
the Chandra survey of Westerlund 1 consists of 36 new ACIS-I observations, nearly co-pointed, for a total exposure time of 1 Msec.
Additionally, we included 8 archival Chandra/ACIS-S observations. This paper presents the resulting catalog of X-ray sources within
and around Westerlund 1. Sources were detected by combining various existing methods, and photon extraction and source validation
were carried out using the ACIS-Extract software.
Results. The EWOCS X-ray catalog comprises 5963 validated sources out of the 9420 initially provided to ACIS-Extract, reaching a
photon flux threshold of approximately 2 × 10−8 photons cm−2
s
−1
. The X-ray sources exhibit a highly concentrated spatial distribution,
with 1075 sources located within the central 1 arcmin. We have successfully detected X-ray emissions from 126 out of the 166 known
massive stars of the cluster, and we have collected over 71 000 photons from the magnetar CXO J164710.20-455217.

The cost of acquiring information by natural selection
This is a short talk that I gave at the Banff International Research Station workshop on Modeling and Theory in Population Biology. The idea is to try to understand how the burden of natural selection relates to the amount of information that selection puts into the genome.
It's based on the first part of this research paper:

Authoring a personal GPT for your research and practice: How we created the Q...
Thematic analysis in qualitative research is a time-consuming and systematic task, typically done using teams. Team members must ground their activities on common understandings of the major concepts underlying the thematic analysis, and define criteria for its development. However, conceptual misunderstandings, equivocations, and lack of adherence to criteria are challenges to the quality and speed of this process. Given the distributed and uncertain nature of this process, we wondered if the tasks in thematic analysis could be supported by readily available artificial intelligence chatbots. Our early efforts point to potential benefits: not just saving time in the coding process but better adherence to criteria and grounding, by increasing triangulation between humans and artificial intelligence. This tutorial will provide a description and demonstration of the process we followed, as two academic researchers, to develop a custom ChatGPT to assist with qualitative coding in the thematic data analysis process of immersive learning accounts in a survey of the academic literature: QUAL-E Immersive Learning Thematic Analysis Helper. In the hands-on time, participants will try out QUAL-E and develop their ideas for their own qualitative coding ChatGPT. Participants that have the paid ChatGPT Plus subscription can create a draft of their assistants. The organizers will provide course materials and slide deck that participants will be able to utilize to continue development of their custom GPT. The paid subscription to ChatGPT Plus is not required to participate in this workshop, just for trying out personal GPTs during it.

Ecolgy and it's branches
- 1. ECOLOGY? Naseer Ullah Noor BS-Biotechnology BUITEMS
- 2. ECOLOGY •Was coined by a germen biologist Ernst Haeckel in 1866. •Ecology is derived from the Greek word Oikos which means “House” and logy means “study”. •Ecology is the scientific study of interaction among organisms and the interaction of the organisms with the environment.
- 3. CONTINUE… The experts on ecology are called ecologist. The nature’s “house” come in many sizes, from single cells to the entire planet. The largest of these houses is known as Biosphere.
- 4. LEVELS OF ORGANIZATION There are six levels: 1. Individual. 2. Population. 3. Community. 4. Ecosystem. 5. Biome. 6. Biosphere.
- 5. 1. INDIVIDUALS: The individual is a specie that they can breed and produce their offspring. 2. Population: Population are the groups of individuals that belongs to the same species and live in the same area.
- 6. 3.COMMUNITIES: Assemblages of different populations that live together in defined area. 4.Ecosystem: Is a collection of all organisms that lives in a particular place together with their non-living or physical environment.
- 7. 5.BIOMES: Large systems called biomes. Biome is a groupe of ecosystems that have the same clinical and similar dominant communities. 6.Biosphere: Contains the combine portion of the planet in which all organisms exist, including land water and air or atmosphere.
- 9. BRANCHES OF ECOLOGY: There are a lot of branches of ecology but here we will discuss a few which are as following: Plant ecology: Is the study of plants, here ecologist study how the plants grow and produce. Animal ecology: Study of the animals and their communities.
- 10. CONTINUE… Human ecology: In this branch of ecology we study about how people relate to each other and as well as to the environment. Applied ecology: The use of ecological principals to solve the real world problems.
- 11. CONTINUE… Medical ecology: Study about the public’s health according to their environmental aspects. Ecophysiology: The study about the interaction of living organisms with nonliving environment.
- 12. CONTINUE… Functional ecology: The study about the species that play role in the ecosystem. Fire ecology: The study about the role of fire in the environment of animal and plants and as well as it’s effect on the ecological communities.
