Summary:Regulatory ecology is an evolving part of regulatory science. This paper attempts to address the unique structure of regulatory ecology. It identifies three groups consisting of eco-fundamentalism, eco-egoism, and eco-stewardship also known as eco-shepherding. The study suggests that the regulatory ecologist should follow the eco-stewardship process. The study identifies zoonosis as a part of regulatory ecology and implies that global human health would benefit from participation by ecologists in zoonosis activities. The study recommends substantial expansion of research funding for ecological research with the objective to enhance the reproducibility of ecological studies, notably regulatory ecology.
