Unter Oecologie verstehen wir die gesammte Wissenschaft von den Beziehungen des Organismus zur umgebenden Aussenwelt, wohin wir im weiteren Sinne alle „Existenz-Bedingungen“ rechnen können. Diese sind theils organischer, theils anorganischer Natur; sowohl diese als jene sind (…) von der grössten Bedeutung für die Form der Organismen, weil sie dieselbe zwingen, sich ihnen anzupassen.

By ecology, we mean the whole science of the relations of the organism to the environment including, in the broad sense, all the “conditions of existence.” These are partly organic, partly inorganic in nature; both (…) are of the greatest significance for the form of organisms, for they force them to become adapted. Ernst Haeckel
