The group of ecology inspired algorithms includes algorithms inspired by weed colony, biogeography and symbiosis. As a part of bio-inspired optimization methods are ecology inspired algorithms generating considerable interest for solving real world problems, therefore are widely investigated across many different science branches. The aim of this paper is to presents the overview of ecology inspired optimization methods, its taxonomy as well as recent and possible future application in metallurgy. Taxonomy revision proposal is being discussed in the context with further research suggestions.
