Track 15 & 16: Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour:

Ecology and Evolutionary Biology lies at the intersection of ecology and evolutionary biology. It approaches the study of ecology in a way that explicitly considers the evolutionary histories of species and the interactions between them. Conversely, it can be seen as an approach to the study of evolution that incorporates an understanding of Ethno biology and Conservation of Natural heritage. The main subfields of evolutionary ecology are life history evolution, Social ecology and sustainability, the evolution of interspecific relations (cooperation, predator-prey interactions, parasitism, Investigations of genetic load and mutualism) and Population Ecology and Ecosystem.

Behavioural Biology is an interdisciplinary field of science that examines the bidirectional interactions between behaviour and biology. An organisms genetic, physiological and immunological processes drive behaviour, just as an individual's behaviour will impact its physiological and immunological state.

Ecology, Evolution and Behaviour has been a prime concern for researchers and environmentalists for the growing environmental issues. Some of the major universities concentrating being Stanford University, The University of Arizona focusing specially on Population Ecology, University of Illinois, University of Michigan and The University of Kansan with indeed the number going upto 600.

Glance at Germany Market of Biotechnology:

For the first time ever, the industry cracked the sales mark of €3bn in turnover generated. Compared to last year, this was an increase of 5.8%. With a total of almost 17,930, there were more employees than ever before working in the biotech industry (2013: 16950). And for the first time since 2008, spending on research and development (R&D) increased rather than decreased and is now at €954m (+ 6.2%). Investments mirrored the growth trend: around €445m was invested in German biotech companies compared to €401m the year before. Private firms raised a total of €172m in 18 rounds of financing, which marks an increase of 26% compared to 2015. Nevertheless, the interest from big business in biotech products remains steady, not only in the healthcare industry but increasingly also in the area of the bioeconomy. The sector in the region gained a total of 273 jobs, adding upto regional employment growth of 5.9% in the sector.
Against the previous year, the total number of these companies increased to 570 (+0.9 %), including 13 start-ups – 7 fewer than 2014. In addition, there were 130 firms active in biotechnology as only one aspect of business (2012: 128). Thus, in the year 2013, there were 35,400 jobs places in commercial biotechnology in Germany. The financing situation has undergone a positive development, with around 400 million euros capital raised (+16,3 %). These are the central conclusions of the company survey carried out by the information platform biotechnologie.de at the beginning of 2013 on behalf of the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF). The data were gathered in accordance with the guidelines of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). Globally, the medical technology, medical biotechnology, industrial biotechnology and pharmaceutical sectors have estimated combined sales of £0.6-1tn with R&D spend to sales ratios higher than 10%. Estimated future growth rates in these markets continue to show strong positive trends with rates of 4-10% predicted over the next 8-10 years.
