Explanation of Solution

The levels of ecological study from the least to the most comprehensive are as follows:

  • Organismal ecology: In the organisimal ecology, is the evolutionary adaptations that causes the organsisms to face the challenges that is acted by abiotic factors.
  • Population ecology: In the population ecology a group of organism from the same species inhabit in a particular region or area.
  • Community ecology: Community can be define as the assembly of populations of various species. The organization and structure of a community affected the interaction of species with each other by predation and competition.
  • Ecosystem ecology: All the abiotic factors along with community of species consisted in the ecosystem ecology. It involves the energy flow and the chemical cycles for the biotic and abiotic factors.
Conclusion

The eclological study has been divided into different comprehension levels to study the interactions of organisms with their environment.
