Branches of Biology
Fields dealing with animals:
Comparative anatomy — The scientific study of similarities and differences in the bodily structures of distinct types of animals.
Entomology — The scientific study of insects.
Ethology — The scientific study of animal behavior.
Herpetology — The scientific study of reptiles and amphibians.
Ichthyology — The scientific study of fish.
Mammalogy — The scientific study of mammals.
Nothology — The study of hybrids.
Ornithology — The scientific study of birds.
Primatology — The scientific study of primates.
Veterinary science — Animal medicine.
Zoology —The study of animals.
Chemistry-based branches of biology:
Biochemistry — The study of life at the chemical level, in particular the chemistry of proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
Bioengineering — A hybrid field of scientific research that uses the principles of biology and the techniques of engineering to produce useful products.
Molecular biology — The branch of biology that studies the formation, structure, and function of macromolecules found in living organisms, particularly nucleic acids and proteins.
Fields relating to the environment:
Astrobiology — The branch of biology concerned with the effects of outer space on living organisms and with the search for extraterrestrial life.
Bioclimatology — The study of the influence of climate on living organisms.
Chronobiology — The study of time-dependent phenomena in living organisms.
Conservation biology — The branches of biology concerned with habitat preservation, the prevention of extinction, and conservation of biodiversity.
Cryobiology — The study of the effects of low temperatures on living organisms.
Ecology — The study of the interaction of organisms with each other and with their environment.
Geobiology — A science that combines geology and biology to study the interactions of organisms with their environment.
Limnology — The study of the physical and biological conditions of freshwater, particularly of lakes and ponds.
