Zoology
In the 1500s Swiss scientist Conrad Gesner wrote a “History of Animals.” He is credited as being the father of zoology. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_zoology_(through_1859) -
Animals classification
Carolus Linnaeus Linnaeus established this method of naming animals back in the 1750s. Learn more about Linnaeus’ life at Famous Scientists. Animals are grouped, or classified, into separate categories based on physical traits. All animals belong to the kingdom of “Animalia.” The next category is their phylum, then class, then order, etc. This classifying process continues by sorting animals into additional groups with more specific similar physical traits. -

Chimps Using Tools???
Jane Goodall discovered that chimps used stripped leaves from twigs as tools and inserted them in to termite mounts to fish for grubs (this opened the question on if any other animals were smart enough to use there environments resources as tools so they started to look more into it and explore more with animals)

Alec Jeffreys
Alec Jeffreys a British geneticist discovered the technique of genetic fingerprinting which is know used in forensic scientist ,biology and of course zoology https://www2.le.ac.uk/departments/genetics/jeffreys -
Burke et al.
provide an interesting contrast through their earlier study of the facultatively polyandrous songbird, the dunnock (Prunella modularis). In this species several males may accompany a single female. Males do not discriminate in favor of their own young, but provision the entire brood with an intensity of effort that reflects the amount of time that they had exclusive ‘access’ to the female just prior to egg laying

birds??
Lambert et al took a birds where they found out that supposedly dominant males did not consistently sire the majority of offspring in a group which means that they weren't acting as the father of most of offspring Another species with a variable breeding system, including apparent female-female pairs, is the brown skuaIn this case, DNA fingerprinting showed no extra-pair or extra-group breeding.

Sex-reversed plumage??
Owens et al investigated the Eurasian dotterel which is a type of bird with sex-reversed plumage and polyandrous behavior (which is a class of mating system where one female mates with several males in a breeding season). Here males are the ones who guard the nest and provision young so they gain a ‘payoff’ only if they can be sure that the eggs that they look after are the products of their own offspringhttps://investigativegenetics.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/2041-2223-5-3 -
