Key concepts
1. Define ecology (an applied and a pure science)
2. To describe and understand, and on the basis
of their understanding, to predict, manage, and
control
3. Spatial and temporal scales(時空尺度). Patterns
may be evident only at particular scales
4. By means of observations, field and laboratory
experiments, and mathematical models.
5. Relies on truly scientific evidence (and the
application of statistics)
17
1.1 introduction
• Ecology (originally in German, Oekologie),
was first defined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel.
– Comprehensive science of the relationship of
the organism to the environment.
– The science which concerns itself with the
external relations of plants and animals to
each other and to the past and present
conditions of their existence, to be contrasted
with physiology (internal relations) and
morphology (structure). (Burdon-Sanderson,
1893)
18
「生態學」的定位(起源)
1866-1891 Haeckel, Ernst:
第一個使用 ecology (1866)。
– Ecology as a part of physiology (生理學)。
– total relationships of the animal both to its
inorganic and its organic environment.
– complex interrelations referred to by Darwin as
the conditions for the struggle for existence.
• eco-logy (the study of household)
– 字源取自 eco-nomics (household + management)
– the economy of nature (自然的經濟)
19
「生態學」的定位( by 1920s)
• 1893 J. S. Burdon-Sanderson: President,
British Ass. for Advancement of Science.
– 將 Ecology 成為「生物學」中三大部之一。
– ecology, physiology and morphology
– 生態學 => philosophy of living nature.
• 1900s Clements & Cowles → plant ecology
– 生態學 = 生理學
• 1910s Adam (1917) & Elton (1927) → animal ecologists
– 生態學= new natural history (Adam, 1917)
= scientific natural history (Elton, 1927) ┤
20
「生態學」的定位( by 1950s)
• 1949 Allee et al. principles of animal ecology
– lack of knowledge of ecology among scholars and
philosophers
• 1. 由於內在的多元性 → 廣泛 distortion of 內容
• 2. 缺乏 historical studies
21
「生態學」的定位( 1960-80s)
• 生態學 =
– 生物的分佈和豐富量之研究 (Andrewartha, 1961)
– 自然的結構和功能之研究 (Odum, 1963)
– 「生物與其生活環境」的互動關係之研究 (Leo
Smith, 1986)
– 自然科學和社會科學的橋樑 (Odum, 1983)
22
「生態學」的定位( 1990s)
• 生態學 =
– 五部份:演化生態+行為生態+族群生態+群落
生態+應用生態 (Stiling, 1992)
– 主要兩個根源:植物地理學 和 自然歷史學
(Leo Smith, 1992)
– the Science of the universe(宇宙) (Hutchinson)
(Colinvaux, 1993)
•
•
•
•
1. 体系的龐雜和歧異之維持和來源之瞭解
2. 生物一起生活的原則
3. 生命如何受天擇影響
4. 自然的經濟學
23
「生態學」的定位( by 2000)
• 生態學 =
– 生命與維生環境之關係 (Odum, 1993)
– 決定「生物的分佈和豐富量」之互動的研究:
Where, How many, Why (Krebs, 1994)
– 「生物與其生活環境」的互動關係之研究
(Brewer, R., 1994)
– 生物與生活環境間的互動關係。 (Stiling, P.
D.,1996
– 自然的經濟 (Ricklefs, R. E.,1997; Smith and
Smith, 1998)
– 研習自然世界的次序 (order) (Ricklefs and
Miller,2000)
24
Charles Elton (1900-1991), Animal Ecology (1927)→
Essentials of Ecology (3rd. Ed.)
• The scientific study of the distribution and
abundance of organisms and the interactions
that determine distribution and abundance.
(Townsend, Begon and Happer, 2008)
• The primitive humans must have been
ecologists of sorts – driven by the need to
understand where and when their food and
their enemies were to be found. (applied
ecologists).
25
Fundamental problems
• To what extent does competitions for food
determine which species can coexist in a habitat?
• What role does disease play in the dynamics of
populations?
• Why are there more species in the tropics than at
the poles?
• What is the relationship between soil productivity
and plant community structure?
• Why are some species more vulnerable to
extinction than others?
26
Essentials of Ecology (3rd. Ed.)
• The beauty of ecology is that it challenges
us to develop an understanding of very
basic and apparent problems – in a way
that recognizes the uniqueness and
complexity of all aspects of nature – but
seeks patterns and predictions within this
complexity rather than being swamped by it.
27
Essentials of Ecology (3rd. Ed.)
•
Two different classes of explanation in biology
– Proximate explanation
– Ultimate explanation
•
學習研究的階段
– 描述、機制(功能)、模式、預測 (參閱實習手冊)
•
This book is about:
1. How ecological understand is achieved.
2. What we do understand.
3. How that understanding can help us predict, manage
and control.
28
「生態學」的定位
生態學 = Eco + logy = 生活科學 =
自然的經濟 (Economy of Nature)
經濟學(Economics) =Eco + nomics
= 生活的經營管理
• 生態學 (Ecology)
– 生活科學:研究生物生活的學
理 (生存與發展之道)
• 生物:個體、族群、群落,以及
生態體系
• 生活:存活 + 繁殖 (生生不息)
29
經濟學 vs.生態學

1.2 Scales, diversity and rigor
(尺度、多樣性、精確)
Three points
1. Ecological phenomena occur at a variety
of scales
2. Ecological evidence comes from a variety
of different sources
3. Ecology relies on truly scientific evidence
and the application of statistics.

• (e) soil nitrogen

Nitrogen effects
• Do patches receiving different supply rates
of nitrogen become less similar in species
composition over time?
• Do patches receiving similar supply rates
of nitrogen become more similar in
species composition over time?
50
• Fig. 1.11 (a) between 1982 and 1992, plots receiving
17g of nitrogen/m2/yr in the two fields became
increasingly similar in composition.

began dropping
from their perches.
• Population surveys
from 2000 to 2003
confirmed alarming
rates of decline.
• =0.50-0.52

56
• Vultures 族群下降,野外腐肉增多,蒼蠅、野狗、
鼠類等增多,傳染病增多。
• 信仰,鳥葬 (a special tower, dakhma)
• It took a few years to find, vultures 死因是累積尿
酸在體內,最後腎臟衰竭。
• 這是因為吃食到 diclofenac 藥物。
• 抗發炎的非類固醇藥物,1970年代使用於人體,後
來於Pakistan和印度廣泛使用於牲畜。
• 但這是唯一的因素嗎?
