| | Human ecology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Human ecology is an academic discipline that deals with the relationship between humans and their (natural) environment. | | | Human Ecology is an interdisciplinary applied field that uses a holistic approach to help people solve problems and enhance human potential within their near environments - their clothing, family, home, and community. | | | Humans are no longer seen as an exceptional species that uses culture to adapt to new environments and environmental change, influenced more by social than by biological variables, but rather as one species out of many that interacts with a bounded natural environment. |

| | Human Behavioral Ecology |
| | Human behavioral ecology (HBE) applies the principles of evolutionary theory and optimization to the study of human behavioral and cultural diversity. | | | Behavioral ecology overlaps with evolutionary psychology, human or cultural ecology, and decision theory. | | | One aim of modern human behavioural ecology is to determine how ecological and social factors influence and shape behavioral flexibility within and between populations. |

| | Human Behavioral Ecology |
| | Human behavioral ecology applies evolutionary ecology models and concepts to the study of human behavioral diversity. | | | When applied to the analysis of behavior, evolutionary ecology is conventionally termed "behavioral ecology." Behavioral analyses have been an integral element of evolutionary ecology from the beginning, treating topics such as foraging strategies, mating systems, and spatial organization and competition. | | | The aim of modern human behavioural ecology is to determine how ecological and social factors affect behavioral variability within and between populations. |

| | Conservation Ecology: Remarkable properties of human ecosystems |
| | Developing an information ecology, i.e., a subfield of a human ecology that integrates matter, energy, and information, is critical for understanding the remarkable properties of human ecosystems at various levels of social organization, because these properties are fundamentally informational in nature (Stepp 1999). | | | The gap between biological ecology and human ecology is mainly the result of past failures to include relevant information and sociocultural systems in biological ecosystem models concerned with energetics and material cycles. | | | It is the interactions of internal and external processes that characterize human cognitive abilities, creating the potential for belief systems, institutions, and behavior patterns that shape the relationships between sociocultural and biophysical environments. |

| | Human Ecology |
| | Human ecology also examines contemporary ecological concerns that result from population growth and industrial development in the light of the larger body of human ecological research. | | | Human ecology examines the way in which human population-resource relationships affect the adaptation of human populations to desert, arctic, forested and other types of ecosystems. | | | General ecology contains a set of concepts and principles derived from evolutionary theory that are used to explain the adaptation and evolution of animal and plant populations and communities in response to the varying conditions of resource availability presented by diverse, dynamic and changing environments. |

| | Social Biology: Human Ecology, Crime, and Crime Control: Linking Individual Behavior and Aggregate Crime |
| | After reviewing literature related to human ecology and crime, the paper focuses on elements relevant to human ecology-biology, development, and ecological factors-and their role in criminal behavior. | | | He contends that a preoccupation with social-political-economic environment (instead of the bio-physical environment) "sets human ecology apart from bioecology" (implying that setting it apart is favorable) and suggests that the tendency to apply principles from human ecology to a wide variety of human affairs is "imperialistic," recommending ways to restrict such tendencies (pp. | | | Most "ecological" research reported in social science journals today is disconnected from human biology, focusing mostly on macro-level community factors that influence criminal behavior or on interactions between humans and their physical environment. |

| | The human ecology of memory studies remembering and forgetting in relation to "the physical, cultural, economic, social, and aesthetic environment that surrounds human beings from birth to death". | | | As such, the Society (later renamed the Human Ecology Fund, and disbanded in 1965) represented an early effort at promoting cross-disciplinary research uniting psychology, medicine, and the social sciences. | | | Although most academics are trained in only a single discipline, the human ecology of memory requires an interdisciplinary effort that transcends guild barriers. |

| | Some might go so far as to argue that the sub-areas of human ecology – human development and family relationships, nutrition and food science and textiles and apparel – are so often outsourced that these areas are no longer crucial aspects of family functioning. | | | However, human ecologists study families with a scientific objectivity: how they are structured, what they wear, how they feed themselves and how they manage to keep sane, healthy and financially stable in a world that is in constant flux. | | | Human ecology is more relevant today than when it was founded and for exactly the same reasons. |

| | Human Ecology brings together for the first time scholarship from the social and natural sciences as well as the environmental design arts to offer an overview of the field of human ecology and to show how the field may help us to envision our futures. | | | The first two chapters summarize the development of this "new ecology" and the theory of human ecology. | | | A vast, multidisciplinary literature underscores this approach, and in Human Ecology, Frederick Steiner synthesizes the work of diverse, sometimes divergent, scholars to illustrate how human interactions can be understood as ecological relationships, using hierarchy as an organizing device. |
