Ecology

Ecology embraces all aspects of the relationships between organisms and their environment, which includes both biotic and abiotic components. Ecologists in EEB study phenomena at scales from the molecular to the global, at levels of organization from the individual organism through populations and communities to ecosystems, in habitats from Michigan to tropical forests, to the tundra and to the deep ocean using tools that range from field experiments to mathematical modeling to DNA and chemical analyses.
