Anthropophilia
In parasitology, anthropophilia, from the Greek ἅνθρωπος (anthrōpos, "human being") and φιλία (philia, "friendship" or "love"), is a preference of a parasite or dermatophyte for humans over other animals. The related term endophilia refers specifically to a preference for being in human habitats, especially inside dwellings. The term zoophilia, in this context, describes animals which prefer non-human animals for nourishment.

model for simulation of ecological relations and effects
habitat conservation
management of habitat
mesic habitat
land habitat classification
escaped plant
Garden plants escaping cultivation to wild
Biotic stress

reconciliation ecology
study of maintaining biodiversity in human-dominated ecosystems
astroecology
Astroecology concerns the interactions of biota with space environments. It studies resources for life on planets, asteroids and comets, around various stars, in galaxies, and in the universe. The results allow estimating the future prospects for life, from planetary to galactic and cosmological scales.

Thermophyte
thumb|Hot-springs with bacteria, [[cyanobacteria, and algae in Yellowstone National Park]] Thermophyte (Greek thérmos = warmth, heat + phyton = plant) is an organism which is tolerant or thriving at high temperatures. These organisms are categorized according to ecological valences at high temperatures, including biological extremes. Such organisms include hot-spring taxa also.
