Ecology has the longest possible tradition in Jena, since here the term Oecologie was coined in 1866 by Ernst Haeckel for the first time to describe a new branch of biological sciences that deals with the interactions between organisms and their environment. Today the Institute of Ecology consists of seven research groups with a total of about 90 staff members and affiliated students working on their dissertation or diploma thesis. Research emphases are on biodiversity studies, evolutionary behavioural ecology, polar ecology, succession, and application of multivariate statistics for ecosystem analyses. Together with the two Max-Planck-Institutes for Chemical Ecology (founded 1996) and for Biogeochemistry (founded 1997) Jena has developed into a centre of ecological research in Germany.
