Quantitative ecology is the application of advanced mathematical and statistics statistical tools to any number of problems in the field of ecology . It is a small but growing subfield in ecology, reflecting the demand among practicing ecologists to interpret ever larger and more complex data sets using quantitative reasoning. Quantitative ecologists might apply some combination of deterministic or stochastic mathematical models to theoretical questions or they might use sophisticated methods in applied statistics for experimental design and hypothesis testing . Typical problems in quantitative ecology include estimating the dynamics and status of wild populations, modeling the impacts of anthropogenic or climatic change on ecological communities, and predicting the spread of invasive species or disease outbreaks. Quantitative ecology, which mainly focuses on statistical and computational methods for addressing applied problems, is distinct from theoretical ecology which tends to explore focus on understanding the dynamics of simple mechanistic models and their implications for a general set of biological systems using mathematical arguments.

It approaches the study of ecology in a way that explicitly considers the evolutionary histories of species and the interactions between them. Conversely, it can be seen as an approach to the study of evolution that incorporates an understanding of the interactions between the species under consideration. The main subfields of evolutionary ecology are Life history theory life history evolution , sociobiology the evolution of behavior , the evolution of interspecific relations cooperation , predator prey interactions , parasitism , Mutualism biology mutualism and the evolution of biodiversity and of community communities .

It focuses on the production of and response to signaling molecules i.e. semiochemical s and toxins. Chemical ecology is of particular importance among ants and other social insects including bees, wasps, and termites as a means of communication essential to social organization. In addition, this area of ecology deals with studies involving chemical defenses defensive chemicals which are utilized to deter potential predators, which may attack a wide variety of species.
