Genecology
Branch of ecology
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Genecology is a branch of ecology which studies genetic variation of species and communities compared to their population distribution in a particular environment.[1][2] It is closely related to ecogenetics. Ecogenetics focuses on the relationship between genetics and ecology[3] and species' genetic responses to the environment.[4][5] Genecology primarily focuses on an ecological perspective, looking at changes and interactions between species. It studies the relationships between genetic variation and environmental gradients within a species. Genecology is often referred to as ecological genetics.[6]
