In ecology, bionomics (Greek: bio = life; nomos = law) is the comprehensive study of an organism and its relation to its environment. As translated from the French word Bionomie, its first use in English was in the period of 1885-1890. Another way of expressing this word is the term currently referred to as "ecology". An example of studies of this type is Richard B. Selander's Bionomics, Systematics and Phylogeny of Lytta, a Genus of Blister Beetles (Coleoptera, Meloidae), Illinois Biological Monographs: number 28, 1960.

/Users/vittorioingegnoli/Desktop/BIONOMICS.docx Bionomics transforms many principles of traditional Ecology, recognizing that Life on Earth is hierarchically organized in complex systems, acting as living entities well farther populations and communities. When related to the territory we talk about Landscape Bionomics, defining Landscape as the “Level of biological organization integrating complex systems of plants, animals and humans in a living Entity recognizable in a territory as characterized by suitable emerging properties in a determined spatial configuration”. (Ingegnoli, 2011, 2015; Ingegnoli, Bocchi, Giglio, 2017)
