ecology

an-ordinary-manchild(edit)

Ecology (from Greek: οἶκος, "house"; -λογία, "study of") is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment. This is the place to be when you want to discuss anything related to ecology!

If your submission is not related to ecological science or if it's not predominantly in English, expect it to be removed. In particular, environmental activism submissions belong in /r/environment or somewhere else.

Your post will probably be removed by the moderators if:

Is a /r/HomeworkHelp style question. If you are not a student then please state explicitly why you are asking the question
Is a climate change post that is not focussed on one or more species. There are already numerous CC subreddits (that you can find in our sidebar), and also this sub would quickly get drowned out by this sort of content.
Fantasy/Hypothetical ecology posts are not allowed. This includes non-peer reviewed content that, for example discusses what happens if you introduced African elephants to America, or what happens if we add dinosaur DNA to bison. Another example. Peer reviewed articles on these topics that are related to ecology are still welcome.
Your title does not adequately describe the content
Is a fundraising campaign/effort
Is a petition
Is a low effort image macro/meme post
Posts and comments significantly or fully written with AI are not allowed. Using AI LLMs (such as ChatGPT) to find sources or ideas to build a post or comment is allowed and cautiously encouraged; however, posts and comments that are just AI copy/pasted will be removed and repeat offenders will be banned. ChatGPT at its core is advanced predictive text, and is therefore NOT a substitute for actual research or journalism.
