Introduction:

Ecology is the science of generating knowledge about how the natural world interacts. It is a study of organisms at multiple levels, their interactions among themselves, and their interaction with the abiotic environment. Ecologists use observations, experiments, and models to test the ecological effects and reasons for the widespread extinction or death of a species.
