An area of study within metascience that examines science through the lens of ecology—as a complex, interconnected system with its own dynamics, niches, and relationships. Ecoscience asks how scientific communities function as ecosystems: how ideas compete for attention, how research niches emerge and evolve, how scientific "species" (disciplines, theories, methods) adapt to changing environments, how resources flow through the system, how extinctions happen when fields die out. It treats science as a living system—not a machine but an ecology, with all the complexity, interdependence, and emergent behavior that implies. Ecoscience reveals that scientific change is not just rational progress but ecological succession, driven by interactions between organisms (scientists) and their environments (institutions, funding, social contexts).
