Our Research covers the broad goal of understanding the diversity of animal life with he approaches ranging from cellular processes through to behavioral studies of population. We provide outstanding opportunities and facilities for the in research; give research grant, volunteering and internships for national and international students. Along with that we are doing various types of scientific research with the help of national and international scholars. GRNC giving the priority to the conservation of wild animals creates awareness programs to conserve forest and to promote wildlife. Wildlife conservation has become an increasingly important practice due to the negative effects of human activity on wildlife. The conservation of wildlife is important to ensure that nature will be around for future generations to enjoy and to recognize the importance of wildlife and wilderness lands to humans and other species. We are building the solid and proud traditions in zoology and want to continue to honors our alumni and our history. Since, zoology is such a broad field, many students who are studying zoology or declaring a zoology major choose to specialize in one of the branches of zoology. Zoology branches include everything from the study and form of animals, the interrelationships of animals from the past and present, the study of earth and life, the study of extinct animals and fossils, and the development of the egg after fertilization in a certain species. When you are exploring the subject of zoology and considering majoring in this field, take the time to learn about different zoology branches to see what area is of most interest to you. Remember that zoologists and researchers must study their subjects for several years before they can find gainful employment. In fact, we will need at least a doctoral degree in order to apply for research positions or teaching positions in this field. Choosing zoology branches that you are passionate about or very interested in learning about can help you stay motivated for this long educational track, and also help you decide what to specialize in.
General Zoology Branches
Some of the general branches of zoology include:
- Morphology – the study of form and structure of animals
- Cytology – the study of the internal structure of animals
- Histology – the study of the structure and function of the tissues
- Physiology – the study of the different functions of various organs in the body
- Embryology – the study of the development of the egg after fertilization
- Genetics – the study of heredity and variations
- Ecology – the study of the relationship between different animals, organisms and the surrounding environment
- Geology – the study of earth and life as recorded by fossils in rocks
Animal-Specific Zoology Branches
Since zoology encompasses the study of animals, fish, insects, crustaceans and other organisms, zoology branches can also be broken down by a specific species or type of animal. Some of the animal-specific branches of zoology include:
- Protozoology – the study of unicellular organisms
- Parazoology – the study of sponges
- Cnidology – the study of coelenterates
- Helminthology – the study of parasitic worms
- Nematology – the study of nematodes
- Entomology – the study of insects
- Carcinology – the study of crustaceans
- Myrmecology – the study of ants
- Lepidopterology – the study of butterflies and moths
- Conchology – the study of molluscs
- Torpedology – the study of skates and rays
- Batracology – the study of frogs
Other Zoology Branches
Some branches of zoology are centered around the study of certain organs and diseases. Others fall under the category of “applied branches”, and include branches such as eugenics, poultry, apiculture and aquaculture. Some of the other zoology branches that you may have an interest in when studying zoology or attending a zoology school, include:
- Phenology – the study of animals as they are affected by seasonal changes
- Ethology – the study of animal behavior
- Phrenology – the study of mental faculties of the brain
- Epidemiology – the study of the transmission of diseases
- Torentology – the study of disease of embryos
- Immunology – the study of immunity to diseases
- Pharmacology – the study of the effects of medicines and organisms
- Exobiology – the study of existence of life in outer space
- Cryobiology – the study of the effects of low temperatures on certain organisms and species
