The first paper linking diet to risk of Alzheimer's disease was a multi-country ecological study published in 1997. [12] It used prevalence of Alzheimer's disease in 11 countries along with dietary supply factors, finding that total fat and total energy (caloric) supply were strongly correlated with prevalence, while fish and cereals/grains ...
Data collected from these experiments is used to draw conclusions about ecological processes, patterns, and underlying mechanisms. Experimental ecology is a new methodology in ecological research, formalized by Henrik Lundegårdh [1] in his 1925 book, Klima und Boden. As stated above, Experimental ecology is a branch of ecology that focuses on ...
A practical example of health ecology is the management of malaria in Mexico. A multidisciplinary approach ended the use of harmful DDT while reducing malaria cases. This study reveals the complex nature of these problems, and the extent to which a successful solution must cross research disciplines.

Theoretical ecology is the scientific discipline devoted to the study of ecological systems using theoretical methods such as simple conceptual models, mathematical models, computational simulations, and advanced data analysis. Effective models improve understanding of the natural world by revealing how the dynamics of species populations are ...
Restoration ecology – Scientific study of renewing and restoring ecosystems – which attempts to understand the ecological basis needed to restore impaired or damaged ecosystems; Biogeochemistry – Study of chemical cycles of the earth that are either driven by or influence biological activity –
Human ecology may be defined: (1) from a bio-ecological standpoint as the study of man as the ecological dominant in plant and animal communities and systems; (2) from a bio-ecological standpoint as simply another animal affecting and being affected by his physical environment; and (3) as a human being, somehow different from animal life in ...
