"Ethology" referring to the study of animal behaviour is about a century old and was (somewhat) popularized through the work of Niko Tinbergen and Konrad Lorenz, which is where I first saw it.
But it never quite caught on. Even now, as de Waal writes, spell-checkers "regularly change it to ethnology, etiology, or even theology".

Serious question for ethologists / biologists / behaviouralists here: what is the name for those vocalisations ? (prolonged simultaneaous meowing at a distance, probably territorial)
I'd love to know more about it.
