Science [r]: The organized body of knowledge based on non–trivial refutable concepts that can be verified or rejected on the base of observation and experimentation ^[e]
Natural science [r]: The study of nature using the scientific method. ^[e]
Biology [r]: The science of life — of complex, self-organizing, information-processing systems living in the past, present or future. ^[e]
Physics [r]: The study of forces and energies in space and time. ^[e]
Life [r]: Living systems, of which biologists seek the commonalities distinguishing them from non-living systems. ^[e]

Bioacoustics [r]: The study of acoustic signals as produced and perceived by living systems, namely animals ^[e]
Biological thermodynamics [r]: The statistical description of the properties of macromolecular, living systems ^[e]
