This wide-ranging topic spans a variety of time and size scales. The fundamental issues of biodiversity's beginnings and continued existence, and ecologists and evolutionists study structural structure. They consult on and research issues related to the wide variety of plant, animal, and microbial life on Earth, from the level of the individual organism to that of the entire ecosystem.
