Modern Zoology Simon Benson

Zoology is the branch of biology that is concerned with the scientific study of animals. All aspects of animal structure, classification, embryology and distribution are explored in the domain of zoology. The fundamental theories of cell biology, anatomy, physiology, evolutionary biology, ethology, etc. aid in developing a comprehensive understanding of all animals. Depending on taxonomy, zoology can be divided into the fields of mammalogy, ornithology, entomology and herpetology. The other sub-disciplines include zoography, behavioral ecology, animal physiology, vertebrate and invertebrate zoology, etc. This book traces the progress of this discipline and highlights some of its key concepts and applications. It attempts to understand the multiple branches that fall under the domain of zoology. This book includes contributions of experts and scientists, which will provide innovative insights into this field.
