社会生态学研究可以受益于长期观察，因为这为研究人员提供了区分生活史、人口统计和生态压力对社会模式发展的相对贡献的机会。长期研究可以提供解释相对于环境因素或特定年龄性别阶层成员的可用性变化的稳定社会模式变化的方法。社会模式的强度可以通过其从一代人到下一代人的持续存在以及个体跨越生命史里程碑时的持久性来衡量。
Studies of social ecology can benefit from long-term observations, as these provide researchers with opportunities to distinguish between the relative contributions of life history, demographics, and ecological pressures to the development of social patterns. Long-term study can provide the means of interpreting changes in stable social patterns relative to changes in environmental factors or availability of members of specific age-sex classes. The strength of social patterns can be measured by their persistence from one generation to the next, and as individuals pass life history milestones.
