In 1893 two significant events happened. First‚ the book “Flower Ecology” by L.H. Pammel‚ was published. Secondly‚ the Madison Botanical Congress adopted the term "ecology" as denoting a new branch of

Overview: Discovering Ecology Ecology is the scientific study of the interactions between organisms and the environment These interactions determine the distribution of organisms and their abundance Modern ecology includes observation and experimentation The Scope of Ecological Research Ecologists work at levels ranging from individual organisms to the planet Global Ecology The biosphere is the global ecosystem‚ the sum of all the planet’s ecosystems Global ecology examines the influence

In its evolution‚ the internet has been greatly affected by emerging communication technologies such as online publishing software and communications technology. Consequently‚ these factors have led it to be promoted as the new public sphere in the way it has become a facilitator of public discussion and great social change. By Habermas’s definition‚ the public sphere is ‘a realm of our social life in which something approaching public opinion can be formed’ (Habermas‚ 1974‚ p. 49). This is particularly

Ecology Ecology is the study of interactions between organisms and the living and non-living components of their environment. It involves collecting information about organisms and observing their life patterns as well. Ecology is a science that seeks to explain why patterns occur the way they do. Interdependence is a key component of biology‚ meaning that all the organism interact with one another in various ways. Its very crucial for organisms since they all depend on one another
