Biochemistry [r]: The chemistry of living things; a field of both biology and chemistry. ^[e]
Biodiversity [r]: The study of the range of life forms in a given ecosystem. ^[e]
Biogeography [r]: The study of patterns of species distribution and the processes that result in such patterns. ^[e]
Botany [r]: The study of plants, algae and fungi (mycology). ^[e]
Cell Biology [r]: The study of the components of cells and their interactions. ^[e]
Developmental biology [r]: The study of how cells grow and interact to form an organism. ^[e]
Ecology [r]: The study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and how they are affected by the environment. ^[e]
Endocrinology [r]: Generically, the study of glands and the hormonal regulation of physiology; also the subspecialty of internal medicine concerned with diseases of the endocrine system ^[e]
Ethology [r]: The scientific study of animal behavior. ^[e]
Evolutionary biology [r]: The study of the origin and descent of species, as well as their change, multiplication, and diversity over time. ^[e]
Genetics [r]: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA. ^[e]
Immunology [r]: The study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals. ^[e]
Marine Biology [r]: Add brief definition or description
Microbiology [r]: The study of microorganisms (overlapping with areas of virology, bacteriology, mycology, and parasitology). ^[e]
Molecular biology [r]: The study of molecular interactions within cells. ^[e]
Morphology [r]: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Morphology (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
Neuroscience [r]: The study of nervous systems and their components. ^[e]
Physiology [r]: The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of tissues and how they interact. ^[e]
Systematics [r]: The study of the diversity of organism characteristics, and how they relate via evolution. ^[e]
Systems biology [r]: The study of biological systems as a whole. ^[e]
Taxonomy [r]: The principles underlying classification, often in a hierarchy. ^[e]
Virology [r]: The study of viruses, sometimes included in the field of microbiology. ^[e]
Zoology [r]: Add brief definition or description
