biosystematics

Biosystematics is the scientific study of classifying and understanding the diversity of living organisms. It involves analyzing their physical characteristics, genetic makeup, and evolutionary relationships to accurately categorize species and determine how they are related. By doing so, biosystematics helps scientists understand the plant and animal kingdoms, track how species evolve over time, and organize biological diversity in a meaningful way. This field combines taxonomy, genetics, and evolutionary biology to provide a comprehensive understanding of the natural world's complexity and the interconnectedness of all living things.
