General: Molecular ecology is a relatively new and rapidly expanding field. It has greatly increased our understanding of evolutionary processes and is having a major impact in ecological studies. Molecular ecology uses genetic data (nucleic acids/proteins) to study populations and communities. Using molecular genetic techniques, we can study ecological interactions in more detail than was previously possible. Molecular ecology encompasses many aspects of science including molecular biology, ecology, evolution, behavioural ecology and genetics.
