Ecology

What is the difference between economy and ecology? By definition, the economy is the management of household affairs, especially expenses, thrifty and efficient use of resources; frugality in expenditures, and the structure of economic life in an area or a period (Miriam Webster). Ecology is a branch of science concerned with the interrelationship of organisms and their environment, the totality or pattern of relations between organisms and their environment (Miriam Webster). Although these two…

The public's attention has recently been caught by species introduction and its resultant biotic invasions which are major components of global change. The last few decades have seen substantial advancements in invasion ecology which are succinctly summarised in this book. The deliberate or accidental introduction of organisms into a new ecosystem may cause the onset of a biological invasion. These so-called 'exotic species' may establish, spread and ecologically alter the invaded community.…

Economy and Ecology Economy and Ecology are sometimes presented to have conflicting interests with each other. Even though in the text, Damn Another Ecologist by Jane Jacob, it states that the economy means house management as ecology means house knowledge. Knowing ecology is important to operate the economy smoothly since the study of nature helps us maintain and balance our living arrangement for now and the future. Economy is mainly focused on finance and making a profit and Ecology mainly…

In addition, the “chain of explanation” is a model that was created to characterize a technique used in the studies of political ecology by Blaikie and Brookfield (EVSP620, 2016). An example of a conceptual framework that exemplifies a link between ecological changes and political-economic forces are displayed in Figure I (Scoones, 1998). Figure I displays the relationship between livelihood, organizations/institutions, and sustainability. The model is used to derive five types of analyses. The…

Ecology of a Dog In my story I will be talking about the importance of dogs and their environments. The dog is also known as a man's best friend because of their loyalty and friendship. I will also be talking about their food web,habitat, and their ecosystem. Dogs interact with humans, so it means they have an interspecific relationship with us humans. Dogs have a significant impact and role in human lives. Such ways of dogs having interspecific relationships with humans are like pets,help with…

Solutions have been proposed, some of which have been placed into effect and have shown signs of potential. Beginning with environmental welfare support groups, these groups have become involved within the “Ecology Movement”. The lecture notes touch on this subject, “Today the term “ecology movement” is associated often with the more moral, more confrontational, and…

Writing Ecologies is to examine and explore the relationship between technology, human expression and culture, whilst considering how these technologies shape and inform the ways is which an individual reads, writes and communicates. Writing Ecologies is ultimately built on a biological and media ecological approach and is adequately the study of communication technologies as cultural environment. Writing itself is increasingly responsible to progressively shift and change, which is…

For the Ecology I laboratory, Lake Wheeler was used to collect water samples and determine what organisms were present in each specific lake depth. Lakes have four different zones: littoral, trophogenic, tropholytic, and profundal (the last three zones create the limnetic zone). The littoral zone is the most shallow part of the lake and closest to the shore. It also contains the highest amount of dissolved oxygen and sunlight. The trophogenic and tropholytic zones contain phytoplankton and…

discussion of the relationship between religion and ecology has sparked a huge debate across the world. Does ecology fall under the bubble of religion? Throughout this course we have been learning how hard it is to define religion and how diverse religion is. With many different types of religion and interpretations of God, it becomes difficult to find a common ground in the debate of religion and ecology. This essay will examine how religion and ecology correlate with one another as well as to…

Matt Lundgren SOC 221 January 26, 2016 Hypertension and Social Ecology Hypertension is a chronic medical condition in which an individual’s blood pressure is too high. This means that the blood is exerting more pressure on the arterial walls than normal as it moves throughout the body. I chose to write about this disease because numerous members of my family suffer from hypertension, or high blood pressure, and it is especially interesting to me because of the fact that hypertension itself…
