| animal biology The scientific study of the natural processes of animals | 动物生物学 (研究动物的自然过程的科学) |
| estuarine biology The scientific study or the characteristic life processes of living organisms found in a semi-enclosed coastal body of water which has a free connection with the open sea and within which sea water is measurably diluted with freshwater | 河口生物学 (对在半封闭海岸水体的科学研究或生命特征过程研究。该水体可以自由连通到海洋，此处的海水被淡水显著稀释。) |
| freshwater biology The scientific study or the characteristic life processes of living organisms found in a natural body of water that does not contain significant amounts of dissolved salts and minerals, such as a lake or river | 淡水生物学 (对生活在含有较少含量溶解盐和矿物质的湖泊或河流中的生物进行的科学研究。) |
| human biology The study of human life and character | 人类生物学 (对人类生活和特征的研究。) |
| marine biology A branch of biology that deals with those living organisms which inhabit the sea | 海洋生物学 (一个生物学的分支，论述栖息在海中的生物。) |
| molecular biology The study of the chemical structures and processes of biological phenomena at the molecular level; the discipline is particularly concerned with the study of proteins, nucleic acids, and enzymes, the macromolecules essential to life processes. It seeks to understand the molecular basis of genetic processes. Techniques used include X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy | 分子生物学 (在分子水平上研究化学结构和生物现象过程；此学科特别关注的是蛋白质、核酸、酶、生命过程必不可少的大分子的研究。它的目的是了解对遗传过程的分子基础。使用的技术包括X -射线衍射和电子显微镜。) |
| plant biology The scientific study of the natural processes of plants | 植物生物学 (植物自然过程的科学研究。) |
| soil biology The study of the living organisms, mainly microorganisms and microinvertebrates which live within the soil, and which are largely responsible for the decomposition processes vital to soil fertility | 土壤生物学 (生物体的研究，该生物体主要是指生活在土壤内的微生物和无脊椎动物，主要研究土壤分解，对土壤肥沃程度起至关重要的作用。) |
