The remit
What belongs in this journal
A manuscript is within scope when it addresses a substantive question about animal biology or develops or evaluates a method for zoological research. Vertebrates and invertebrates are read on the same terms, at every level from the molecular to the ecological, in wild, captive, domestic, laboratory and collection-based work.
- Physiology and development
- Morphology, anatomy and systematics
- Behavior and ecology
- Genetics, cell and molecular biology
- Animal health, parasitology and welfare
- Nutrition and feeding biology
- Methods, instrumentation and analysis
The full statement, with the fit test and the boundary, is on aims and scope.
