Theoretical biology applies reason toward the goal of explaining the biological world, and aspects of it, through ideas and theories. It thereby distinguishes itself from observational and experimental biology, though without the latter disciplines of biology, theoretical biologists would have no information with which to produce theories, or evaluate them.
