Game Theory

Game theory is the scientific study of puzzles and has been aplyed to almost all the sciencies that presume choice. Since John Maynard Smith, it has also been aplied to biology. Some of the most important games are the Dove-Hawk Game and the Prisioner's Dilemma.
The Dove-Hawk Game works on the assumption that doves lose against hawks feeding them, doves have a neutral aproach to each others and hawks just lose points on confrontation with each others.

Ethology


Ethology, also known as Animal Behaviour, is the branch of Biology that studies the way animals interact with each other, and the environment.
The favourite areas of investigation are communication, instinct, learning, mating and social interactions.
Modern Ethology is acknowledged to have a start in the 1930's with the work of the dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen and the austrians Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch on the organization and elicitation of individual and sicial behaviour patterns in animals, winning the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology
Nowadays, ethology has been starting to be integrated with other branches of Biology to, more easily, explain some of the more complex processes. New fields as Neuroethology, Sociophysiology or Ethoecology have been in the vanguard of investigation.
One of the most recently debated subjects is Altruism.

Immunology


Immunology is a branch of Biology that studies the immune system of organisms, its threats and its strenghts.
Modern Immunology began when Alexander Flemming accidentally discovered the properties of Penicillin in 1828. This and his work on antibiotics were the foundation to his Nobel Prize in Medicine in 1945.

The greatest achievement of immunologists is vaccination. The ability to prepare an individual to most deseases he/she will find in a lifetime is what has permited mankind to erradicate many dangers and increase humans life span.
One of the principal worries of immunologists today, are the resistent lineages of pathogens originated with the bad usage of antibiotics.
