wildlife ecology
Nature's web study
Wildlife ecology is the study of how wild animals interact with each other and their environments—their feeding habits, reproduction, movement patterns, and population dynamics.
The field informs conservation efforts and wildlife management: Her research in wildlife ecology focuses on how urban development affects migratory birds.
It overlaps with but is distinct from wildlife biology, which emphasizes physiology over environmental relationships.
