    General zoology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of animals. It includes fields like anatomy, physiology, histology, embryology, comparative anatomy, and ethology. Specializations include anatomy, physiology, cytology, comparative genomics, histology, embryology, molecular biology, parasitology, and comparative anatomy. Together these fields help understand how animals function and interact with their environments. The document also provides examples of the large family of cichlid fish and mentions that tracing genetic material between similar species has helped determine migration and invasion patterns.
