1 “The Nature of Ecology”
Biological scientists often study/research adaptations that have evolved within particular species. That is, they focus upon the biological aspects alone. Think critically about what ecology means and describe within a few paragraphs how ecologists approach the study of living organisms. As part of your answer, include a realistic and detailed example of a study by an ecologist.
1. Compose an essay to explain what is an ecological environment of an organism. You may include the meaning of the following terms: population, community, niche, species, habitat, biotic and abiotic factors, limiting factors and interactions.
