Chemical Ecology
Chemical Ecology is the scientific study of the biochemical interactions between organisms and their environment, including chemical communication among and between organisms. It encompasses the role of natural products in mediating inter- and intra-specific interactions in a wide variety of taxa and varying trophic levels. Chemical Ecology has much relevance to the agricultural, pharmaceutical, chemical and biotechnology industries, as well as to conservation, environmental management and environmental protection. By understanding the biochemical mechanisms of biological interactions, we can develop technologies that can be used to monitor, manipulate, or control them.
