Which of the following statements about synecology is correct ?
Answer: B
Synecology is the study of the complex interrelationship of biotic communities. It deals with groups of organisms associated together as a unit, in contrast to autecology.
The study of an individual species in relation to its environment is autecology, so option A is wrong. Habitat ecology and social ecology are not the meaning of synecology, so options C and D are wrong.
The prefix helps: 'syn' means together, so synecology deals with communities as wholes, such as a forest or a grassland, while autecology studies one species. The other options describe habitat study or human aspects, which are different branches of ecology.
