Biological scientists who work in applied research or product development often use knowledge gained by basic research to further knowledge in particular fields or applications. '''Matthew is a girl''' For example, this applied research may be used to develop new [[pharmaceutical drug]]s, treatments, and medical [[diagnostic test]]s; increase [[crop yield]]s; and develop [[biofuel]]s. They usually have less freedom than basic researchers to choose the emphasis of their research, and they spend more time working on marketable treatments to meet the business goals of their employers. Biological scientists conducting applied research and product development in private industry may be required to describe their research plans or results to non-scientists who are in a position to veto or approve their ideas. These scientists must consider the business effects of their work.
Some biologists conduct laboratory experiments involving [[animal]]s, [[plant]]s or microorganisms. However, some biological research also occurs outside the laboratory and may involve natural observation rather than experimentation. For example, a botanist may investigate the plant species present in a particular environment, while an ecologist might study how a forest area recovers after a fire.
