Bibliography of biology
This bibliography of biology is a list of notable works, organized by subdiscipline, on the subject of biology.
Biology is a natural science concerned with the study of life and living organisms, including their structure, function, growth, origin, evolution, distribution, and taxonomy. Biology is a vast subject containing many subdivisions, topics, and disciplines. Subdisciplines of biology are recognized on the basis of the scale at which organisms are studied and the methods used to study them.
Anatomy
This section contains a list of works in anatomy, the study of the structure of living things.Biophysics
This section is a list of works on biophysics, an interdisciplinary science that uses the methods of physical science to study biological systems.- English translation:
Botany
This section is a list of works on botany, the scientific study of plant life.- : Emphasizes plant family characteristics to facilitate plant identification. Used as a text at many universities and herbal schools.
Cell biology
This section contains a list of works on cell biology, the study of cells – their physiological properties, their structure, the organelles they contain, interactions with their environment, their life cycle, division and death.Ecology
This section contains a list of works in ecology, the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and their natural environment.- Published in English as
Evolutionary biology
This section contains a list of works on evolution, the change across successive generations in the heritable characteristics of biological populations.- English translation:
Genetics
This section contains a list of works on genetics, the science of genes, heredity, and variation in living organisms.- Published in English as
Microbiology
This section contains a list of publications on microbiology. Microbiology is the study of microorganisms, which are defined as any microscopic organism that comprises either a single cell, cell clusters or no cell at all.Molecular biology
This section contains a list of works on molecular biology, the study of the molecular basis of biological activity.*
Physiology
This section contains a list of works on physiology, the science of the function of living systems. This includes how organisms, organ systems, organs, cells and bio-molecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living system.- English translation:
Taxonomy
This section contains a list of works on taxonomy, the practice and science of classification or the result of it.- :Classified animals using a hierarchical system with 5 levels: Kingdom, class, order, genus and species. The official starting point of zoological nomenclature.
- :A two-volume work, going through many editions, listing all plants then known, made accessible by an ordering in classes and orders, and giving every listed species a two-part name. With this book anybody, by counting the male and female parts present in a flower, could get to a listing of the genera the plant in question belongs to. The system of binomial nomenclature that bears his name effectively began with this work.
Zoology
This section contains a list of works on zoology, the study of the animal kingdom, including the structure, embryology, evolution, classification, habits, and distribution of all animals, both living and extinct.*
