What is ecology?
Ecology is the branch of science that is concerned with the relationships of life forms with each other and with their surroundings. The word ecology was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel. It is derived from two ancient Greek words meaning “study of the home”. The word ecology comes from the Greek word Oikos meaning ‘household’.
