ecologist
Studies living systems
An ecologist is a scientist who studies the relationships between organisms and their environments.
The field examines how living things interact with each other and their surroundings—from individual species to entire ecosystems.
Marine ecologists warned that rising temperatures were bleaching the coral reefs.
