First sentence: Interest in understanding the growth of biological populations has its origins in the early nineteenth century, predating Haeckel's coining of the word okologie in 1866, denoting the study of the relationship of the organism and its environment, as well as the crystallization of population ecology as a distinct discipline in the 1920s and 1930s.
