Why the domain fits
Ecology involves adaptive agents, uncertain environments, niche construction, and multi-scale feedback. Active Inference can organize those questions around perception, action, and viable states.

Active Inference and Ecology guide
Ecological applications of Active Inference ask how organisms, groups, and instruments infer environmental states while acting within them.
Application pattern
A domain report should distinguish biological theory, behavioral ecology, collective foraging, geospatial inference, and applied sensing. These layers share concepts but require different evidence and validation standards.
Evidence to collect next
The next pass should gather work on collective behavior, foraging, adaptive environmental monitoring, ecosystem modeling, and geospatial decision support, then classify each source by organism, scale, and intervention type.
