Examples of ethology in the following topics:
-
- Animal behavior has been studied for decades, by biologists in the science of ethology, by psychologists in the science of comparative psychology, and by scientists of many disciplines in the study of neurobiology.
- One cannot study behavioral biology without touching on both comparative psychology and ethology.
-
- Behavioral genetics studies heritability of behavioral traits, and it overlaps with genetics, psychology, and ethology (the scientific study of human and animal behavior).
-
- It is also different from, though closely related to, the studies of evolutionary biology, genetics, and ethology.
-
- Often considered a branch of biology and sociology, it also draws from ethology, anthropology, evolution, zoology, archaeology, population genetics, and other disciplines.
-
- Evolutionary biology emerged as an academic discipline in the 1930s and 1940s, along with the study of animal behavior (ethology), both of which heavily influence the development of evolutionary psychology.
-
- Observational studies in the fields of astronomy, developmental psychology, and ethology are common and provide valuable scientific information.
-
- John Bowlby's contributions to the theory of attachment formation are heavily influenced by ethology (the scientific study of human and animal behavior), including an emphasis on the evolutionary origins and biological purposes of behavior.
