  1. Ecology (from Greek: οίκος, oikos, "household"; and λόγος, logos, "knowledge") is the scientific study of the distribution and abundance of life and the interactions between organisms and their environment. The environment of an organism includes physical properties, which can be described as the sum of local abiotic factors such as insolation (sunlight), climate, and geology, and biotic factors, which are other organisms that share its habitat.

    An example of this would be to study if pollution in an environment affects the concentration or distribution of a species of animal, plant or insect.


  2. Ecologists study the relationships between living things and their environment. Ecologists often have to study and explain how human actions affect other living things and their environment. Ecologists can be teachers or research scientists. They can work for environmental organizations like the Nature Conservancy or for the government. They may work at museums, zoos and aquariums.  

  3. Ecology majors study the web of living and nonliving things in an environment to understand how the whole system works.

    for example, the study of the queen bee, and how she relates to the worker bees and the drones.
