* Phylogeny: The evolutionary history and relationships between organisms.
* Taxonomy: The science of classifying organisms into hierarchical groups based on their shared characteristics.
* Nomenclature: The system of naming organisms using a standardized system.
Therefore, information excluded from the study of systematics generally includes:
* Individual organism behavior: This is typically studied in the field of ethology or animal behavior.
* Physiological details: While systematics uses physiological data to determine relationships, it doesn't delve deeply into the specific workings of individual organisms. This is more the domain of physiology.
* Ecological interactions: While systematics may consider broad ecological patterns in relation to evolution, it doesn't focus on the specific interactions between organisms and their environment. This is studied in ecology.
However, it's important to note that these fields often overlap. Systematics uses data from other disciplines to understand evolutionary relationships, and the study of behavior, physiology, and ecology can provide valuable insights into the diversification of life.
