- Biochemistry: The chemistry of living things is a field of both biology and chemistry
- Biodiversity: The study of the diversity of life
- Biogeography: The study of patterns of species distribution and the processes that result in such patterns
- Botany: The study of plants and fungi (mycology)
- Cell Biology: The study of the components of cells and their interactions
- Developmental biology: The study of cell growth and interactions to form an organism
- Ecology: The study of the distribution and abundance of organisms and how they are affected by the environment
- Endocrinology: The study of glands and the hormonal regulation of physiology
- Ethology: The scientific study of animal behavior
- Evolutionary biology: Study of the origin and descent of species, as well as their change, multiplication, and diversity over time
- Genetics: The study of the inheritance of characteristics, genes and DNA
- Immunology: Covers the study of all aspects of the immune system in all animals

- Neuroscience: The study of nervous systems and their components
- Physiology: The study of the mechanical, physical, and biochemical functions of tissues and how they interact
- Systematics: The study of the diversity of organism characteristics, and how they relate via evolution
- Systems biology: The study of biological systems as-a-whole, developing quantitative models to explain, predict and control biological systems.
- Taxonomy: The principles underlying classification, often in a hierarchy
- Virology: the study of viruses, sometimes included in the field of microbiology
- Zoology: The study of animals
