description: Over the last 25 years, ecology has emerged from being a predominantly descriptive subject to one with a more substantial theoretical framework underpoinned by evidence from experiments. In this advance, improved technology has undoubtedly played a most significant role - few ecologists could operate without a computer to hand and many branches of the subject require very sophisticated instrumentation. This period has also seen much greater precision in the formation of hypotheses, a more general search for mechanisms increasing integration with other disciplines and increasing demands for applications of the lessons learned
