Ecoinformatics is a relatively new term that is often used in the field of biology and ecology, specifically the study of biodiversity and interactions in ecosystems. However, there are other synonyms that can be used to describe this field of study. Bioinformatics refers to the use of computer science and data analysis to study biological systems. Ecology informatics is another term that is used interchangeably with ecoinformatics. Biodiversity informatics is another synonym that refers to the study of diversity, evolution, and distribution of organisms. Evo-informatics is another term used to describe the study of evolutionary processes and patterns using computational methods. These synonyms are all used to describe the application of informatics to the study of biological systems in a rapidly changing world.
