As can be seen in the graphic that has been created below almost all seperate sectors of ecology have some common focuses, often times not with all other sectors butalways with at least one . I have taken the liberty to express why some of less closely connected sectors share common goals.
commonailty in the way outside factors affect populations
Commonality in that both focus on the prevention of factors that inhibit biodiversity (i.e. pathogens)
Commonality in that both focus on evolution based one the organisms environment
Commonality in interactions with envrionment
Commonality in that both share a specific focus on the behavior of an organism in any given environment
The study of evolution and its affects on organisms due to ecological occurences
Essentially how an organisms behavior and/or adaptations can improve reproduction and survival
This is the theory that survival is to be favored in animals whose foraging behavior is the most energy efficient.
The behavior in which an organism holds and protects a specific domain that contains some sort of limiting resource, such as mates, food, or shelter.
The behaviors that an organism exhibits to provide optimal reproductive success
A focus within biology that deals mainly with organisms and their interactions with one another and with the world surrounding them
Population ecology focuses on the population in a particular environment and how they interact with said environment
This sector of ecology focuses on the interactions between species and organisms in communities
These are factors that affect the population sizes due to factors independent of the population size (i.e. Disease, natural disaster).
These are factors that affect the population sizes due that are directly dependent on the size of the population (i.e competition for food and resources).
This is the maximum number of a certain species that a ecosystem can indefinitely maintain given its resources.
The study of the way non-living (abiotic) members of an ecosystem interact with the living (biotic) members
This is the process of studying the relationship between organisms and their habitat and, furthermore, this information is used to try to build a better relationship between them for the benefit of both parties.
Succession refers to the complete change in species structure usually due to a natural disaster that destroys what existed there prior.
The living organisms within an ecosystem such as animals, plants, and other micro-organisms
Abiotic features refer to the nonliving members of an ecosystem such as rocks, soil, foliage debris, and chemicals
The field of ecology that focuses on the way environments and climates affect pathogens and other disease carrying organisms (i.e. paarasites)
This is the focus of ecology on disease and the pathogens related to it.
This refers to the process of a pathogen transmitting from an infected host into a previously uninfected organism.
These are diseases that can be transferred from animal hosts to domestic animals and humans. Mad cow disease is an example of this.
These are diseases that are transferred to humans, animals, and plants from arthropods (usually mosquitoes).
This focus of ecology is on the way in which the study is on the ways in which an organisms physiology is adapted to its environment
The ability for animals to cooridinate and maintain internal stability despite situations that disturb their normal functions
Essentially the adaptations and ability for organisms to regulate their body temperatures
This is the sector of biology that focuses on addressing threats to biodiversity in environments all over the world and conserving biodiversity worldwide
Species that have reduced so much in terms of population size that they are below the minimum viable population limit and are in danger of extinction
Protected spaces in which endangered species are allowed to live in the wild with some relative captivity attached for the sake of rebuilding the population
The act of illegally hunting endnagered or protected animals for sport or for the resources they provide (such as ivory from elephant tusks)
