Ecology and its Domain

The word ‘ecology’ was first used by Ernest Haeckel in 1869. Paraphrasing Haeckel we can describe ecology as the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and their environment. The word is derived from the Greek oikos, meaning ‘home’. Ecology might therefore be thought of as the study of the ‘home life’ of living organisms. A less vague definition was suggested by Krebs (1972): ‘Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions that determine the distribution and abundance of organisms’. Notice that Krebs’ definition does not use the word ‘environment’; to see why, it is necessary to define the word. The environment of an organism consists of all those factors and phenomena outside the organism that influence it, whether these are physical and chemical (abiotic) or other organisms (biotic).

Kebutuhan literatur dalam perkuliahan sering membuat saya bingung. Literature dari halaman internet tidak jadi masalah karena lebih mudah mengaksesnya.
