    Ethology is the scientific study of animal behavior in natural conditions, focusing on evolution of behavior and natural selection. It differs from behaviorism which studies behavior in laboratories. Charles Darwin influenced many ethologists with his book on animal emotion expressions. Biogeography studies the spatial distribution of organisms on Earth, examining topics like plate tectonics, climate change, dispersal and migration. It was founded by Alfred Russel Wallace who co-published work with Charles Darwin. Modern zoology arose in German and British universities in the 19th century. Comparative anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, teratology and ethology became areas of zoological investigation. Thomas Henry Huxley

    Ethology

    Ethology is the scientific and objective study of animal behavior under natural conditions,[18] as
    opposed to behaviourism, which focuses on behavioral response studies in a laboratory setting.
    Ethologists have been particularly concerned with the evolution of behavior and the
    understanding of behavior in terms of the theory of natural selection. In one sense, the first
    modern ethologist was Charles Darwin, whose book, The Expression of the Emotions in Man
    and Animals, influenced many future ethologists.[19]

    Biogeography

    Biogeography studies the spatial distribution of organisms on the Earth,[20] focusing on topics
    like plate tectonics, climate change, dispersal and migration, and cladistics. The creation of this
    study is widely accredited to Alfred Russel Wallace, a British biologist who had some of his
    work jointly published with Charles Darwin.

    Branches of zoology
    Although the study of animal life is ancient, its scientific incarnation is relatively modern. This
    mirrors the transition from natural history to biology at the start of the 19th century. Since
    Hunter and Cuvier, comparative anatomical study has been associated with morphography,
    shaping the modern areas of zoological investigation: anatomy, physiology, histology,
    embryology, teratology and ethology.[21] Modern zoology first arose in German and British
    universities. In Britain, Thomas Henry Huxley was a prominent figure. His ideas were centered
    on the morphology of animals. Many consider him the greatest comparative anatomist of the
    latter half of the 19th century. Similar to Hunter, his courses were composed of lectures and
    laboratory practical classes in contrast to the previous format of lectures only.

    Gradually zoology expanded beyond Huxley's comparative anatomy to include the following
    sub-disciplines:

     Zoography, also known as descriptive zoology, is the applied science of describing


    animals and their habitats
     Comparative anatomy studies the structure of animals
     Animal physiology
     Behavioral ecology
     Ethology studies animal behavior
     Invertebrate zoology
     Vertebrate zoology
     Soil zoology
     The various taxonomically oriented disciplines such as mammalogy, biological
    anthropology, herpetology, ornithology, ichthyology, and entomology identify and
    classify species and study the structures and mechanisms specific to those groups.
