EcoBlog 3-Name and define the levels of organization that an ecologist studies. Identify the level that you would study if you were an ecologist. Describe a method you would use to study this level. Give reasons for your choice of a method.

The levels of organizations that an ecologist studies are individual or species, population,community, ecosystem, biome and biosphere. The individual or species is the most basic unit biological unit where a specific species is studied. The population is the study of a specific section of animals in an area. Community is all the organisms in a population, an ecosystem is a community of interacting species and their environment. A biome is a natural occurring area of plants and animals occupying a habitat and a biosphere is the study of all the living things on the Earth. If I were an ecologist, I would study the level of biosphere by traveling around the world and examining all the different plants and animals. A method I would use is create a group of ecologists to travel to different parts of the world and then come together to learn the whole biosphere together on different perspectives. I would use this method because as a ecologist I would like to learn about the biosphere as quick as possible to understand the world better thus allowing more discoveries to be made. Also by creating a group of ecologists to learn together, it would involve more people to learn the biosphere.
