words only definitions & notes
  1. cladistics
    a system of biological taxonomy based on the quantitative analysis of comparative data and used to reconstruct cladograms summarizing the (assumed) phylogenetic relations and evolutionary history of groups of organisms
    Biologists organize and analyze evolutionary relationships through various methods, including phylogenetics, phenetics, and cladistics.
  2. genus Amphiprion
    damsel fishes
    Ecology
    Mutual symbiosis between clownfish of the genus Amphiprion that dwell among the tentacles of tropical sea anemones.
  3. organelle
    a specialized part of a cell; analogous to an organ
    ResearchStructural
    Schematic of typical animal cell depicting the various organelles and structures.Main articles: Molecular biology, Cell biology, Genetics, and Developmental biology
    Molecular biology is the study of biology at a molecular level.[33]
  4. eubacteria
    a large group of bacteria having rigid cell walls
    Modern alternative classification systems generally begin with the three-domain system: Archaea (originally Archaebacteria); Bacteria (originally Eubacteria); Eukaryota (including protists, fungi, plants, and animals)[54] These domains reflect whether the cells have nuclei or not, as well as differences in the chemical composition of the cell exteriors.[54]
  5. eukaryote
    an organism of one or more cells with membrane-bound nuclei
    Biologists generally regard the universality and ubiquity of the genetic code as definitive evidence in favor of the theory of universal common descent for all bacteria, archaea, and eukaryotes (see: origin of life).[21]
  6. mitochondrion
    part of a cell involved in energy production
    The set of chromosomes in a cell and any other hereditary information found in the mitochondria, chloroplasts, or other locations is collectively known as its genome.
  7. viroid
    the smallest of viruses
    The classification of viruses, viroids, prions, and all other sub-viral agents that demonstrate biological characteristics is conducted by the International Code of Virus classification and nomenclature.[49][50][51][52]
  8. macromolecule
    any very large complex molecule
    Entomology — the study of insects
    Environmental Biology — the study of the natural world, as a whole or in a particular area, especially as affected by human activity
    Epidemiology — a major component of public health research, studying factors affecting the health of populations
    Ethology — the study of animal behavior
    Evolutionary Biology — the study of the origin and descent of species over time
    Genetics — the study of genes and heredity
    Herpetology — the study of reptiles and amphibi...
  9. biogeographical
    of or relating to or involved with biogeography
    However, it was the British naturalist Charles Darwin, combining the biogeographical approach of Humboldt, the uniformitarian geology of Lyell, Thomas Malthus's writings on population growth, and his own morphological expertise, that created a more successful evolutionary theory based on natural selection; similar reasoning and evidence led Alfred Russel Wallace to independently reach the same conclusions.[10]
  10. homeostasis
    metabolic equilibrium maintained by biological mechanisms

  11. Amphiprion
    damsel fishes
    Ecology
    Mutual symbiosis between clownfish of the genus Amphiprion that dwell among the tentacles of tropical sea anemones.
  12. ethologist
    a scientist who studies animal behavior
    Ethologists have been particularly concerned with the evolution of behavior and the understanding of behavior in terms of the theory of natural selection.
  13. Carolus Linnaeus
    Swedish botanist who proposed the modern system of biological nomenclature (1707-1778)
    Carolus Linnaeus published a basic taxonomy for the natural world in 1735 (variations of which have been in use ever since), and in the 1750s introduced scientific names for all his species.[8]
  14. glucocorticoid
    a steroid hormone that is produced by the adrenal cortex of animals; affects functioning of gonads and has anti-inflammatory activity
    In turn, ACTH directs the adrenal cortex to secrete glucocorticoids, such as cortisol.
  15. limnology
    the scientific study of bodies of fresh water for their biological and physical and geological properties
    Entomology — the study of insects
    Environmental Biology — the study of the natural world, as a whole or in a particular area, especially as affected by human activity

  16. herpetology
    the branch of zoology concerned with reptiles and amphibians
    For example, it generally involves scientists who have special training in particular organisms such as mammalogy, ornithology, botany, or herpetology, but use those organisms as systems to answer general questions about evolution.
  17. cyanobacteria
    predominantly photosynthetic prokaryotic organisms containing a blue pigment in addition to chlorophyll; occur singly or in colonies in diverse habitats; important as phytoplankton
    However, a 2004 paper concerning the cyanobacteria does advocate a future adoption of a BioCode and interim steps consisting of reducing the differences between the codes.[59]
  18. morphogenesis
    differentiation and growth of the structure of an organism
    Originating in embryology, modern developmental biology studies the genetic control of cell growth, differentiation, and "morphogenesis," which is the process that progressively gives rise to tissues, organs, and anatomy.
  19. speciation
    the evolution of a biological species
    The exact relationships of the three domains are still being debated.Main article: Systematics
    Multiple speciation events create a tree structured system of relationships between species.
  20. biotic
    of or relating to living organisms
    The habitat of an organism can be described as the local abiotic factors such as climate and ecology, in addition to the other organisms and biotic factors that share its environment.[61]
  21. Leeuwenhoek
    Dutch pioneer microscopist who was among the first to recognize cells in animals and who gave the first accurate descriptions of microbes and spermatozoa and blood corpuscles (1632-1723)
    Biology began to quickly develop and grow with Antony van Leeuwenhoek's dramatic improvement of the microscope.
