<p>In ecology, <strong>bionomics</strong> (Greek: bio = life; nomos = law) is the comprehensive study of an organism and its relation to its environment. &nbsp;<br /><br />Today we call it, &quot;[[ecology]]&quot; or a more specific subdiscipline of Ecological Economics. 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. Michael Rothschild used the term in his book, but does not make reference to prior uses.</p>

<li>A term probably derived from biology and economics - an economic theory describing economy using the principles of biology (economy as a [[self-organizing ecosystem]]). See Michael Rothschild: &quot;Bionomics: Economy As Ecosystem&quot; (ISBN 0-8050-1979-0). </li>

<p>The term appears in The Living Soil by E.B. Balfour<br /><br /><strong><font size="4">External links<br /></font></strong>[http://selforganization.net Organization.net]</p>
