Like several of the other fields that are categorized within zoology, entomology is a taxon‐based category; any form of scientific study in which there is a focus on insect‐related inquiries is, by definition, entomology. Entomology therefore overlaps with a cross‐section of topics as diverse as molecular genetics, behavior, neuroscience, biomechanics, biochemistry, systematics, physiology, developmental biology, ecology, morphology, and paleontology.
