My mom is a retired biology professor who did research is zoology. She did small mammal population studies which can provide information on the health of forests or indicate what size forest island in an urban area can support wildlife. In addition, she did some studies of primitive primates in order to determine whether or how vocalizations were taught. This can help understand how human primates learn language as you are starting with the very basics. My mom taught at a small college where many students were working on nursing degrees. I would guess that most biology programs include some opportunities to study zoology although most undergraduates would get a BS in Biology. When looking at LACs it would be important to check professor bios and course offering to ensure there are classes in zoology rather than a focus on molecular biology, genetics, or what not.
