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: The study of plants and fungi (mycology)
Cell Biology: The study of the components of cells and their interactions
Developmental biology: The study of cell growth and interactions to form an organism
Ecology: The study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and how they are affected by the environment
Endocrinology: The study of glands and the hormonal regulation of physiology
Ethology: The scientific study of animal behavior
Evolutionary biology: Study of the origin and descent of species, as well as their change, multiplication, and diversity over time
Genetics: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA
Immunology: Covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals
Marine Biology: The study of life in the seas and oceans
Microbiology: The study of microorganisms (overlapping with areas of bacteriology, mycology and parasitology)
Molecular biology: The study of molecular interactions within a cell
Morphology: The study of structure
Neuroscience: The study of nervous systems and their components
Physiology: The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of tissues and how they interact
Systematics: The study of the diversity of organism characteristics, and how they relate via evolution
Systems biology: The study of biological systems as-a-whole, developing quantitative models to explain, predict and control biological systems.
Taxonomy: The principles underlying classification, often in a hierarchy
Virology: the study of viruses, sometimes included in the field of microbiology
Zoology: The study of animals
