Cetologies

/sɪˈtɑːlədʒiz/ noun

Definition

Plural of cetology; multiple studies, approaches, or branches of whale and cetacean science.

Etymology

Simple plural of cetology. Maintains the structure from Greek 'cetus' (whale) + '-logy' (study of).

Kelly Says

Modern cetologies have become so specialized—some scientists study only whale song, others track migration patterns using satellite technology, and still others investigate the neuroanatomy of cetacean brains.
