Molecular ecology is a chimeric field of evolutionary biology that is concerned with applying molecular population genetics, molecular phylogenetics, and genomics to traditional ecological questions (e.g., species diagnosis, conservation and assessment of biodiversity, species-area relationships, and many questions in behavioral ecology). It is virtually synonomous with the field of "Ecological Genetics" as pioneered by Dobzhansky, Ford, and others. These fields are united in their attempt to study genetic-based questions "out in the field" as opposed to the laboratory. There is a scientific journal called "Molecular Ecology", and a quick look at any issue will provide a glimpse into the breadth of the field (see below). However, it should be noted that almost all scientific journals in evolutionary biology publish articles dealing with "molecular ecology".
Molecular Ecological techniques have recently been used to study "in situ" questions of bacterial diversity. This stems from the fact that many microorganisms are not easily obtainable as cultured strains in the laboratory, which would allow for indentification and characterisation. It also stems from the development of polymerase chain reaction, which allows for rapid amplification of genetic material.
