Molecular ecology is a field of study that combines the principles of ecology and molecular biology to understand the relationships between organisms and their environments at a molecular level. It typically involves the use of molecular techniques to examine genetic variation, gene flow, population structure, and evolutionary processes among populations and species. Key areas of focus in molecular ecology include: 1. **Genetic Diversity**: Assessing genetic variation within and between populations to understand how diversity influences population dynamics, survival, and adaptability.
