Uma Ramakrishnan received the 2023 Molecular Ecology Prize for bringing molecular genetics to conservation practice, policy, and the public. She spoke to Nature India from the National Centre for ...
The recent union of molecular genetic methods and ecology is a great advance in evolutionary biology research. Molecular ecologists employ an array of molecular tools to study the genetic biodiversity ...

M.S. & Ph.D. in EB with Research Area in Ecology and Evolution
As far back as the late 1800s, researchers realized that answers to some ecological questions could be obtained by examining the molecular composition of organisms. One of the earliest attempts at ...
Today, we’re still breaking new ground. With rigorous peer review and rapid publication, we’re known globally for cutting-edge novel discoveries. Clear, concise papers spanning empirical and theoretical research, varied approaches, and every area of ecology.
The main subdisciplines of ecology, population (or community) ecology and ecosystem ecology, differ in their contrasting paradigms. The former focuses on organisms' distribution and abundance, while the latter focuses on materials and energy fluxes.
In practice, ecology is composed of broadly overlapping approaches and further divided by the groups of species to be studied. There are many, for example, who specialize in the field of “bird behavioral ecology.” The main approaches fall into the following classes.
Ecology is one of the most foundational fields in environmental science, and understanding it opens the door to dozens of rewarding careers and research paths. This guide covers what ecology actually is (and what it isn't), its history, its many sub-disciplines, and where the field is heading in the years ahead.
