Ecology is the study of relationships among organisms in ecosystems.[1] The term comes from the German "oekologie."
Ecology is often confused with "evolution", in publications which use terms loosely. Here at Conservapedia, the we use "evolution" only to mean the emergence of a new species; see macroevolution. Adaptations such as can be seen in the different breeds of dogs are not considered "evolution" in this context (see also Origins debate).
