	Ecology (disciplines) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ecology is a broad biological science and can thus be divided into many sub-disciplines using various criteria.
		Behavioral ecology, which studies the ecological and evolutionary basis for animal behavior, focusing largely at the level of the individual;
		Population ecology (or autecology), which deals with the dynamics of populations within species, and the interactions of these populations with environmental factors;

	Applied Historical Ecology
		Applied historical ecology is the use of historical knowledge in the management of ecosystems.
		Historical ecology encompasses all of the data, techniques, and perspectives from paleoecology; land-use history from archival and documentary research; and long-term ecological research and monitoring extended over decades.
		One prominent change was the rapid shift of the forest/woodland ecotone upslope by as much as 2 km between 1954 and 1958 (Figure 2), due to the death of drought-stressed ponderosa pine trees (Allen and Breshears 1998).

	Ecology and Society: Contemporary visions of progress in ecology and thoughts for the future
		Because ecology is a science of scale, practitioners continue to struggle to both incorporate scalar intricacy into their research and interpret their research with respect to scale.
		The field of applied ecology includes research that addresses issues in conservation biology, the extraction of natural resources, environmental pollution, the effects of climate change on the biotic world, and the management of habitats and species.
		Applied ecology often acts as an interface between the scientific and academic worlds and the larger worlds of business, government, and the public.
