Animal Sciences
动物科学
This category includes all aspects of animals and animal life, animal life cycles, and animal interactions with one another or with their environment. Examples of investigations included in this category would involve the study of the structure, physiology, development, and classification of animals, animal ecology, animal husbandry, entomology, ichthyology, ornithology, and herpetology, as well as the study of animals at the cellular and molecular level which would include cytology, histology, and cellular physiology.
本类别涵盖动物与动物生命的各个方面：动物的生命周期，以及动物彼此之间、动物与环境之间的相互作用。典型研究包括动物的结构、生理、发育与分类，动物生态学、畜牧学、昆虫学、鱼类学、鸟类学和两栖爬行动物学。也包括在细胞与分子层面研究动物，如细胞学、组织学和细胞生理学。

What belongs in this category这个类别收什么
- BEH动物行为Animal BehaviorThe study of animal activities which includes investigating animal interactions within and between species or an animal’s response to environmental factors. Examples are animal communication, learning, and intelligence, rhythmic functions, sensory preferences, pheromones, and environmental effects on behaviors, both naturally and experimentally induced.研究动物的各种活动，包括种内与种间的相互作用，以及动物对环境因素的反应。例如动物的通讯、学习与智能、节律性功能、感觉偏好、信息素，以及自然发生或实验诱导的环境因素对行为的影响。
- CEL细胞研究Cellular StudiesThe study of animal cells involving the use of microscopy to study cell structure and studies investigating activity within cells such as enzyme pathways, cellular biochemistry, and synthesis pathways for DNA, RNA, and protein.研究动物细胞，包括用显微镜观察细胞结构，以及研究细胞内部的活动，如酶促通路、细胞生物化学，以及 DNA、RNA 和蛋白质的合成途径。
- DEV发育DevelopmentThe study of an organism from the time of fertilization through birth or hatching and into later life. This includes cellular and molecular aspects of fertilization, development, regeneration, and environmental effects on development.研究生物体从受精开始，经出生或孵化直到后续生命阶段的过程。包括受精、发育、再生的细胞与分子机制，以及环境对发育的影响。
- ECO生态学与农业Ecology and AgricultureThe study of interactions and behavioral relationships among animals, and animals and plants, with their environment and with humans. This includes studies that involve ranching and farming of livestock, animal aquaculture and animal agriculture.研究动物之间、动物与植物之间，以及它们与环境和人类之间的相互作用与行为关系。包括牧场与家畜养殖、水产养殖和畜牧农业方面的研究。
- GEN遗传学GeneticsThe study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms. These projects include studies of heredity, dealing with resemblances and differences of related organisms resulting from the interaction of their genes and the environment. Studies may include projects relating to gene expression, gene regulation, genomics, and model organisms.研究生物体的基因、遗传变异与遗传。这类项目考察遗传现象，即近缘生物因基因与环境相互作用而产生的相似与差异。研究可涉及基因表达、基因调控、基因组学以及模式生物。
- NTR营养与生长Nutrition and GrowthThe study of natural, artificial, or maternal nutrients on animal growth, development, and reproduction including the use and effects of biological and chemical control agents to control reproduction and population numbers.研究天然、人工或母体来源的营养物质对动物生长、发育和繁殖的影响，也包括使用生物与化学制剂调控繁殖和种群数量的做法及其效果。
- PHY生理学PhysiologyThe study of one of the 11 animal systems. This includes structural and functional studies, system mechanics, and the effect of environmental factors or natural variations on the structure or function of a system. Similar studies conducted specifically at the cellular level should select the cellular studies subcategory.研究动物十一大系统中的某一个，包括结构与功能研究、系统力学，以及环境因素或自然变异对系统结构或功能的影响。若同类研究专门在细胞层面进行，应选择“细胞研究”子类别。
- SYS系统学与演化Systematics and EvolutionThe study of animal classification and phylogenetic methods including the evolutionary relationships between species and populations. This includes morphological, biochemical, genetic, and modeled systems to describe the relationship of animals to one another.研究动物分类与系统发育方法，包括物种与种群之间的演化关系。可借助形态学、生物化学、遗传学以及建模的方法来描述动物之间的亲缘关系。
- OTH其他OtherStudies that cannot be assigned to one of the above subcategories. If the project involves multiple subcategories, the principal subcategory should be chosen instead of Other.无法归入上述任何子类别的研究。如果项目涉及多个子类别，应选择项目的主要子类别，而不是选择“其他”。
Judges are assigned by the subcategory you pick, so choose the primary one rather than "Other" where a project could sit in several. Source: Society for Science.评委是按你所选的子类别分配的，一个项目若能落入多个子类别，应选主要的那个，而不是「Other」。来源：Society for Science 官方。 Official page官方页面
Source discrepancy: The bullet list on the official page still reads “Ecology” while the definition block below has been updated to “Ecology and Agriculture (ECO)”. This page uses the newer name. The 2026–2027 rules book still prints Ecology.官方口径校勘：官方子类别项目符号列表仍写作“Ecology”，但释义段已更新为“Ecology and Agriculture (ECO)”；此处采用释义段的新名。2026–2027 规则手册仍列为 Ecology。

These tier counts exclude 2025, whose award text is missing from the official database. The award-winning projects listed below do include 2025, recovered from the grand-award press release, so the two will not add up.层级分布剔除了 2025 年——该年官方库缺奖项文本。下方的获奖作品清单则包含 2025 年（从大奖新闻稿补回），因此两处数字不会相等。
The gap from the all-track rate of 30.3% is not statistically significant (Fisher exact p = 0.772).与全赛道 30.3% 的差距不具统计显著性（Fisher 精确检验 p = 0.772）。
