 What is Zoology the study of? All you need to know

Hi dear readers, my name is "Hadi Rana", today we'll discuss about (What is Zoology the study of?: All you need to know).

Zoology is one of the broadest fields in all of science. The diversity of its sub-disciplines reflects its breadth. These sub-disciplines are based on particular functional, structural or ecological interests that span many animal groups (table 1.1).

Specializing  in the biology of a particular group of animal is also possible (table 1.2). Given the size of some animal groups, further speciFalization is also common. For example, there are approximately 300,000 described (and many undescribed) species of beetles! one person cannot possibly be an expert in all areas of beetle biology.

            Therefore, he or she can specialize even further and become a beetle taxonomist, physiologist or ecologist. Obviously, sharply defined boundaries do not separate the zoology sub-disciplines, and the sub-disciplines share much information.

Also have a look at table 1.2
