What's the difference between biologist and systematist?
Biologist
Definition:
(n.) A student of biology; one versed in the science of biology.
Example Sentences:
(1) For evolutionary biologists population variability per se has proven of interest.
(2) Hence, autoantibodies are useful tools for the molecular biologist as well as the clinician.
(3) The cultured cells were characterized for growth rate and growth potential, morphology by light and electron microscopy, presence of esterases and cytokeratins, and sensitivity to storage at 4 degrees C. Cultured mammary epithelial cells from milk may be useful to dairy scientists and mammary gland biologists.
(4) The work of epidemiologists and biologists results in no less heterogeneous results.
(5) A desirable terminology, therefore, is one that is familiar to molecular biologists and can facilitate comparisons with other systems--immune, endocrine, nervous--where similar methods and terms are in use.
(6) The recent advances in the kinetics of the reactions of muscle proteins have increased still further the need for understanding among muscle physiologists-and other biologists-of those parts of thermodynamics that concern them directly, notably those relating work and chemical change.
(7) Domain-specific antibodies have already increased the molecular resolution with which cell biologists can immunologically examine the function of cellular proteins.
(8) When the eminent biologist TH Huxley met Gladstone for the first time in 1877, in the company of Darwin , he exclaimed afterwards: “Why, put him in the middle of a moor, with nothing in the world but his shirt, and you could not prevent him being anything he liked.” This is my view of Cicero: drop him into Westminster or Washington or any other political culture and he would instantly begin clambering to the top.
(9) Finally the authors report the necessity of strict collaboration systems between clinical experts, geneticists, biologists and informaticians.
(10) This disease has challenged cell biologists, it has served as a basis for intense scientific inquiry, and it has defied the therapeutic attempts of pediatric oncologists.
(11) Stephen Curry , a structural biologist at Imperial College London, says that scientists need to come to a new arrangement with publishers fit for the online age and that "for a long time, we've been taken for a ride and it's got ridiculous".
(12) Three British biologists have discovered that in the "bacteriophage phi X 174 genes D and E are translated from the same DNA sequence but in different reading frames."
(13) Some diseases, notably AIDS, are a much greater challenge and it will need all the expertise of molecular biologists and immunologists to devise a vaccine which may control the disease.
(14) The recent discovery of hypervariable VNTR (variable number of tandem repeat) loci has led to much excitement among population biologists regarding the feasibility of deriving individual estimates of relatedness in field populations by DNA fingerprinting.
(15) The traditional definition of the fibroblast based solely on morphological criteria, which has satisfied most biologists for years, now needs reappraisal.
(16) Among the "non invasive methods" available for biologists, salivary determinations seem of interest, particularly in endocrinology and clinical pharmacology.
(17) To this end, a 'polymorphic programming environment' has been developed which represents both an expert system and a high-level language for theoretical chemists and molecular biologists.
(18) During the last 25 years, cutaneous biologists have been particularly interested in abnormal cutaneous vascular patterns, the profusion of capillary anastomoses, the leakiness of venules, clotting, fibrinolysis, and blood viscosity.
(19) The biologist may prefer to use plasma rather than serum to facilitate sampling procedures in his laboratory.
(20) Rapid advances in site-directed mutagenesis and total gene synthesis combined with new expression systems in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells have provided the molecular biologist with tools for modification of existing proteins to improve catalytic activity, stability and selectivity, for construction of chimeric molecules and for synthesis of completely novel molecules that may be endowed with some useful activity.
Systematist
Definition:
(n.) One who forms a system, or reduces to system.
(n.) One who adheres to a system.
Example Sentences:
(1) On the basis of morphology, some systematists argue that the thylacine was most closely related to an extinct group of South American carnivorous marsupials, the borhyaenids, whereas others consider it to be closer to Australian carnivorous marsupials.
(2) A model of a systematist's reasoning, using evolutionary principles, is the basis of this work.
(3) Plant systematists have frequently focused their attention on the "water lilies," putative descendants of the most archaic angiosperms.
(4) Trees obtained by the neighbor-joining method are more in agreement with UPGMA phenograms and other data, so this method of phylogenetic reconstruction may be useful to systematists not willing to assume constant rates of evolution.
(5) In the past systematists have not been concerned with distinguishing the different phylogenetic histories for symbiont taxa that have merged within a composite taxon, or holobiont.
(6) To a large extent, the mutual affinities of the mammalian orders continue to puzzle systematists, even though comparative anatomy and amino acid sequencing offer a massive data base from which these relationships could potentially be adduced.
(7) The individual level (guardians of the young), the professional level (the medicalcare and the administration), and the dental health activities level (the systematist and the residents of the district) all together have practiced dental health activities by "Shiroi-ha Kyoshitsu" for 73 one-year-old infants starting in 1986 for three years.
(8) Given RAPDs technical advantages and ease of execution, however, this should not be problematic to the molecular systematist.
(9) Having earlier defined the superfamily Hominoidea (1931) as holding the Pongidae and Hominidae and monographed lower primate fossils (e.g., "Studies on the earliest primates," 1940), Simpson's "Principles of classification and a classification of mammals" (1945) further solidified his reputation as a mammalian systematist.
(10) Problems regarding the homologies of different entotympanics, largely ignored by paleontologists and systematists, reduce or negate their taxonomic valency for all but closely related groups.
