Coleopterology

Coleopterology is the scientific study of beetles (insects of the order Coleoptera). Practitioners are termed coleopterists. As a subfield of entomology, coleopterists share many of the concerns of general entomologists. Taxonomy is somewhat more important to coleopterology, because of the sheer number of beetle species to organize. When speaking informally, coleopterists sometimes refer to their study as beetling. Notable coleopterists include: Charles Darwin Horace Donistho ...

Many entomologists are employed in the study of insects that are directly beneficial or harmful to humans. The study of beneficial insects, such as honeybees and silkworms, is primarily focused on their ecology and life habits, the primary concern being the understanding of how to raise them and make them more productive. Conversely, much of the study of harmful insects is focussed on their physiology, with the goal of developing insect controls that are effective while minimizing undesirable side effects. For instance, many type of i ...

Not all words ending in -ology are ologies in the above sense. In some words such as tautology and haplology, the -logy suffix is from the Greek λογος, word, and denotes not a field of study but a type of speech or writing. For example, haplology means the mistake of saying one letter, syllable or word when two or more are required, as in the example of pronouncing the word February somewhat like "Febuary". It should also be pointed out that some words mean to study something, bu ...

Although technically incorrect, "-ology" is sometimes used to describe a subject rather than the study of it. Technology is a typical example. This usage is also widespread in medicine; for example, pathology is often used for specific disease ("We have not found the pathology yet"). "Ology" can be appended to any word, humorously, when describing its study; such as beer-ology or Wiki-ology. There are a few irregular exceptions to the ending "-ologist"; f ...
