Zoology, the branch of biology that focuses on the study of animals, has made significant contributions to scientific research across various fields. Here are some key areas where zoological research has made an impact:
1. Biodiversity Conservation: Zoological research plays a crucial role in identifying and cataloging animal species, understanding their habitats, behavior, and ecological roles. In Poddar International College, students also work in this area to update knowledge their surroundings.
2. Ecology and Ecosystem Dynamics: This research is essential for understanding ecosystem dynamics and predicting the impacts of human activities such as climate change and habitat destruction. Physio-Chemical tests like free carbon dioxide, dissolved oxygen, salinity, alkalinity, acidity, chloride content water and soil pH, phytoplankton’s and zooplanktons studies are also carried out by poddar students to understand the nature
3. Evolutionary Biology: By studying the diversity of animal species and their evolutionary relationships, zoologists contribute to our understanding of the processes driving evolution. This includes research on adaptation, speciation, phylogenetics, and the genetic basis of evolutionary change.
4. Biomedical Research: Many animals serve as model organisms for studying human biology and disease. Zoological research has led to discoveries in areas such as genetics, neurobiology, physiology, and pharmacology, providing insights that contribute to medical advances and the development of new treatments. To initiate blood tests like MCV, Hb, hematocrit, WBC, RBC, MCHC, etc are part of regular experiments for B.Sc. and M.Sc. students in Poddar
5. Behavioral Science: Zoologists investigate animal behavior to understand social dynamics, communication, mating strategies, and cognitive abilities. This research not only sheds light on the evolution of behavior but also provides valuable insights into human behavior and psychology. Antennal grooming of cockroach is easiest way to understand behavior. Students of poddar learn this as experiential learning

These areas highlight the diverse and interdisciplinary nature of zoological research, which encompasses fields ranging from genetics and ecology to behavior, evolution, and beyond. The contributions of zoology to scientific knowledge continue to expand as researchers uncover new insights into the natural world and its complex interactions
Overall, zoological research plays a vital role in advancing our understanding of the natural world and addressing global challenges related to biodiversity loss, environmental degradation, public health, and sustainability.
