introduction on Ecology...

1. Ecology
Ecology is the study of the interactions between living
organisms and their environment. As you can imagine,
the study of these interactions can be both complex and
very subtle. To truly appreciate ecology, the macro-level
of biology, you must have a firm understanding of the
micro-level of biology, biochemistry and cells, as ecology
is primarily governed by the flow of energy through an
ecosystem. In this unit we will explore the various layers
of the biosphere, the sum of all life on Earth as we lay the
foundation to study how organisms take on specific roles
or niches in their environment and interact through
complex but predictable symbioses. We will define a
species and examine the various boundaries that
distinguish one species from another. And finally we will
take a look at how disturbances interrupt ecological
stability and how ecosystems respond to disturbances
through a process called ecological succession.
