This include multiple levels of study. Habitat, tissues, organ systems, Morphology and biological form, live cycle, and behavior are the major subdivisions of organism biology. |

Behavior includes such things as motion, nutrition, and reproductive behavior. Any response to the environment may be classified as behavior. Even microbes, plants and fungi have behavior, although it is usually slower and not as visible as animal behavior. A tentative classification includes motion, vital behavior such as feeding and nutrition, reproduction and growth, and other behavior.
This includes discussion of genetics, embryology, and various processes of development, including death.
Also known as morphology, this includes the overall size, shape, coloration, and appearance of organisms.
Also known as anatomy and physiology, this section includes the major processes and structures of control and coordination, reproduction, locomotion, vital processes, and their organization and structure, down to the level of tissues.
This also includes body fluids, cell types, and single cell versus multicellular life forms.
This includes the discussion of where the organism lives. The primary groups are aquatic, boundary, and terrestrial.
HistoryThe history of organism biology is fairly old, as dissections of organisms have been carried out throughout history. Prehistory including early prehistory, middle prehistory, and late prehistory can be connected. Antiquity including the 5th millennium BC, 4th millennium BC, 3rd millennium BC, 2nd millennium BC, and early 1st millennium BC can be connected. Classical and medieval times including early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medieval times can be connected. |

The systematic and detailed study, however, is largely modern. I have not yet detailed the 16th century or 17th century. The 18th century including the early 18th century, early mid 18th century, mid 18th century, late mid 18th century, and late 18th century can be connected. The 19th century including the early 19th century, early mid 19th century, mid 19th century, late mid 19th century, and late 19th century can be connected. The 20th century including the early 20th century, early mid 20th century, mid 20th century, and late mid 20th century can be connected. The late 20th century including the early 1980s, late 1980s, early 1990s, and late 1990s can be connected. The early 21st century including the early 2000s and late 2000s can be connected. The early 2010s including 2011 and 2012 can be connected. Since few organisms have been studied in exhaustive detail, there is much room for improvement in these studies in the future. SociologyPeoples of the world including Asiatic peoples, Western Civilization, African peoples, and American Indian peoples may be helpful. Particular nations such as India, Indonesia, Brazil, Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Russia will be useful in commecting peoples to organism biology. Western civilization including the United States, can be connected. Asiatic peoples including those of China can be connected. American Indian peoples found in the United States can also be considered. Communities such as Tokyo, Seoul, Mexico City, and New York City may be connected. Social structure and change including social change, social types, and social structure can be connected. Institutions including families, education, economics, and government can be connected. Religion including particular religions, religious organization, religious practice, and religious belief can be connected. Culture including material culture, conceptual culture, and behavioral culture can be connected. Anthropology including social foundations, demography, physical anthropology, human ecology, human geography, and particular groups will be useful. Applications of personal studies including the human body, pyschology, and biography will be useful in these studies. Biohistory including Precambrian, Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic eras can be appled.Ecology including behavioral ecology, population ecology, community ecology, system ecology, evolution, ecosystems, and biogeography. Systematics including microbes, protists, plants, fungi, and animals will give specific examples of these. It is also connected to cell biology including cell anatomy, cell behavior, and cell types. It depends more directly on molecular biology including inorganic molecules, simple organics, carbohydrate, lipids, proteins, and nucleic acids. This depends more directly on earth science, including geology, hydrospheric science, atmospheric science, physical geography, and geohistory. There are some connections to astronomy including cosmology, galactic astronomy, stellar astronomy, and planetary astronomy. It also depends somewhat on chemistry including subtances, changes, and chemical systems. This subject depends somewhat indirectly on physics including mechanics, thermodynamics, electromagnetism, relativity, quantum physics, and the structure of matter. |
