Disturbances are ubiquitous across life system hierarchy from molecules to ecosystems due to unprecedented economic growth and human aggregation. Ecological sciences enter a new phase due to urgency of ecosystem stability in parallel with rapid development of information and communication techniques at the same time. Ecological life events, however, are extremely complex and difficult to analyze: multi-disciplines are involved in pursuing ecological projects regarding ecological contents (ecosystems, taxa, and size) and connection to humans (academic fields and human involvements). A key concept for solving complex ecological problems is “integration” by utilizing four components that have been already ready for establishing the system: gene information, mathematical biology, mobile sensor networks, and modelling techniques. Ecological informatics and modeling garner a special attention in analyzing life events objectively and quantitatively in integrative aspect. In acquiring information on ecological contents effectively, surveys/experiments could be conducted by utilizing mesocosms and mobile sensor networks. A structure property residing in interplay between social pressure and disturbance in ecosystems could be a basis for social concerns caring more about the public property than private property. Based on suitable information provision and appreciating ecological efficiency, altruistic feedbacks by humans could be arisen to resolve the tragedy of the common consequently in human societies.
