This section covers the principles of evolution, including natural selection, speciation, and evolutionary biology's historical context, highlighting the work of Charles Darwin and others.
Ecology
Ecology examines the relationships between organisms and their physical surroundings as well as with each other. This part of the portal explores the various ecosystems, biodiversity, conservation efforts, and the impact of human activity on the environment.
Other Disciplines
The portal also covers additional disciplines within biology, such as microbiology, botany, zoology, and biotechnology. Each section provides an overview of the field, its significance, and its contributions to science and society.
The Portal:Biology is structured to facilitate easy navigation for users seeking information on specific topics. It includes links to featured articles, current events in biology, and resources for further reading. Users can explore topics through categorized sections or use the search function to find specific information.
