The reason behavioral ecology interests me the most because there are so many different things that factor into it, and the wide range of things you can study. From environmental factors, to learned behaviors, the genetic variances, there are so many things that can determine why a certain organism lives and behaves the way it does. It would be interesting for me to see what the driving force behind certain behaviors are, and why it is better for the organism to live the way it does. It would be interesting to find out if certain ways of doing things are better evolutionarily as a whole. The only way to tell this would be by studying the success rate of different organisms in similar environments that act differently in the same situation. The behavior of organisms is, to me, that most interesting and variable part about ecology.
