Malacology is the branch of invertebrate zoology which deals with the study of mollusks, the second largest phylum of animals in terms of described species after the arthropods.
One division of malacology, conchology is devoted to the study of mollusks shells.
Those who study malacology are known as malacologists.
Fields of malacological research include taxonomy, ecology and evolution.
Applied malacology studies medical, veterinary, and agricultural applications, for example mollusks as vectors of disease, as in schistosomiasis.
Archaeology employs malacology to understand the evolution of the climate, the biota of the area, and the usage of the site.
In 1794, the first compilation of mollusks was published while in 1868, the German Malacological society was founded.
