Synecology ?

[Basilio]

Hi there everyone. I couldn't help mention that you have ample and vivid discussions in this section of your forum, so I hope you will prompt me to resolve this dilema. While browsing the net I ran across a term-"synecology" See.. I know what's ecology- smth. like "rational usage of of natural resources", but failed to learn so far that it has certain branches or may be fields of applications..Could anyone actually help me in this problem and explain at least in few words what is the synecology all about, thanks.

Hi Basilio,

I have no particular expertise in this field, but my dictionaries came up with this official definition of the term “synecology”:

Ecology actually includes synecology as well as two other of its branches-outecology, and democology.
If synecology deals with relation bw different species (e.g. predators and herbivores) (0X) , outecology views how do the outter factors influence them ( =>animals natural environment), where as demecology calculates the oscilations of different species' population.
