Zoology in general
In zoology the study of animals is understood. It is an area of biology, both the physiology (life), the tribal and evolution, genetics, ecology, shape and body structure (morphology, anatomy), and with the spread of a species in a given Habitat deals.
From the general zoology is spoken, if employed, the zoologist with the body structure, reproduction and the development of a species. Especially the similarities of a race or species are examined.
Contrast is provided in the special collection The diversity of species in the foreground. The species are initially classified into a system (species, genus, family). This pioneering way is known as taxonomy or systematics. Although this also included the tribal history is important. The outer structure of an animal (morphology) and the internal structure (anatomy) are other areas of zoology. Fundamentally important is of course the structure and functioning of the institutions. Well as physiology, ie the biochemical and physiological processes of life called. The field of animal behavior (ethology) gives people information about certain practices in behavior, psychology and the emergence of such behaviors. Are certain ways innate, they are instilled, and must be learned.
The evolution (phylogeny) now plays in zoology is a very important role, as the study of family relationships of individual species with each other. If, during ecological studies are designed as individual habitats and must be designed to guarantee for individual organisms and species survival. The reproduction is also in the field of special zoology. In the Geozoologie examines the types which have spread to areas where and how.
Where is operated zoology?
Zoology is the science which is operated either outdoors, in laboratories and museums. Usually it is rather a combination of everything. Forms the basis in biology. But veterinarians, scientists and forestry employ geographers often very closely with the zoology. The best-known zoologists have been and probably Charles Darwin, Alfred Edmund Brehm, Jane Goodall, Dian Fossey, Alfed Kühn and many more. Without them, people know less of the natural processes in the cycle of life.
