The branch of biology studying how organisms interact with each other and their environment, including food chains and habitats.
From bio- (life) + ecology (from Greek oikos, house, + -logy, study of), a 20th-century scientific term integrating organism study with environmental science.
Bioecology explains why introducing just one non-native species to an island can trigger a domino effect—the new species eats local predators' prey, which then affects everything else in the chain.
