Ecology is a broad discipline comprising many sub-disciplines. A common, broad classification, moving from lowest to highest complexity, where complexity is defined as the number of entities and processes in the system under study, is: * Ecophysiology examines how the physiological functions of organisms influence the way they interact with the environment, both biotic and abiotic. * Behavioral ecology examines the roles of behavior in enabling an animal to adapt to its environment. * Population ecology studies the dynamics of populations of a single species. * Community ecology (or synecology) focuses on the interactions between species within an ecological community. * Ecosystem ecology studies the flows of energy and matter through the biotic and abiotic components of ecosystems. * Systems ecology is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the study, development, and organization of ecological systems from a holistic perspective. * Landscape ecology examines processes and relationship across multiple ecosystems or very large geographic areas. * Evolutionary ecology studies ecology in a way that explicitly considers the evolutionary histories of species and their interactions. * Political ecology connects politics and economy to problems of environmental control and ecological change.
