Into Ecology
by : Conner, Roman, and Jonathan
What Is Ecology
1. the branch of biology that deals with the relations of organisms
to one another and to their physical surroundings.
2. Ecology is the scientific study of interactions of organisms with
one another and with the physical and chemical environment.
Although it includes the study of environmental problems such as
pollution, the science of ecology mainly involves research on the
natural world from many viewpoints, using many techniques.
Modern ecology relies heavily on experiments, both in laboratory
and in field settings. These techniques have proved useful in
testing ecological theories, and in arriving at practical decisions
concerning the management of natural resources.
3. Ecology is the scientific study of organisms with one another and
with the physical and chemical environment.

(Habitat)
1. the natural environment of an organism; place that is natural for the life and
growth of an organism: a tropical habitat.
2. the place where a person or thing is usually found: Paris is a major habitat of
artists.
3. a special environment for living in over an extended period, as an underwater
research vessel.

(Competition)
1. the act of competing; rivalry
2. a contest in which a winner is selected from among two or more entrants
3. a series of games, sports events, etc
4. the opposition offered by a competitor or competitors
5. a competitor or competitors offering opposition
6. (Environmental Science) ecology the struggle between individuals of the same
or different species for food, space, light, etc, when these are inadequate to
supply the needs of all.

(Commensalism)
1. an association between two organisms in which one benefits and the
other derives neither benefit nor harm.
2. In ecology, commensalism is a class of relationship between two
organisms where one organism benefits without affecting the other.

(Symbiosis)
1. interaction between two different organisms living in close physical

2. the living together of two dissimilar organisms, as in mutualism,
commensalism, amensalism, or parasitism.

(Parasitism)
1. Parasitism is a non-mutual symbiotic relationship between species, where one
species, the parasite, benefits at the expense of the other, the host.
