biologies
Studies of organisms
Biologies is the plural of biology, used when referring to multiple biological systems, disciplines, or approaches: The biologies of insects and mammals differ dramatically.
It appears in academic contexts discussing distinct biological frameworks or the biology of different organisms as separate subjects of study.
