Zoo Biology is concerned with reproduction, demographics, genetics, behavior, medicine, husbandry, nutrition, conservation and all empirical aspects of the exhibition and maintenance of wild animals in wildlife parks, zoos, and aquariums. This diverse journal offers a forum for effectively communicating scientific findings, original ideas, and critical thinking related to the role of wildlife collections and their unique contribution to conservation. How to cite: To make sure that references to this journal are correctly recorded and resolved (for example in CrossRef or ISI Web of Science), please use the following abbreviated title in any citations: 'Zoo Biol.' Punctuation may vary according to the style of the citing journal.
ZooKeys is a peer-reviewed, open access, online and print, rapidly published journal, launched to support free exchange of ideas, data and information in all branches of Zoology. It is one of the most dynamic, innovative and technologically advanced scholarly journals in its field. Zookeys was the first to implement semantic tagging and enhancements of content since the publication of its issue 50 in 2010. Currently, ZooKeys takes second place in the Index of Organism Names among the top 10 journals publishing the greatest number of new taxa in Zoology.
Aims and Scope Zoologica Scriptapublishes empirical. theoretical. and methodological papers. review articles and debate comments and replies dealing with zoological diversity. taxonomy and systematics in a phylogenetic context. Purely taxonomic papers (like species descriptions without putting these in a wider systematic context) will not be considered. and preference will be given to studies addresssing phylogeny. biogeography. and palaeontology using morphological. molecular and bioinformatic methods. Phylogeographic studies must have clear systematic/taxonomic conclusions to be considered.
The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.

Zoology is a journal devoted to experimental and comparative animal science. It presents a common forum for all scientists who take an explicitly organism oriented and integrative approach to the study of animal form, function, development and evolution. The journal invites papers that take a comparative or experimental approach to behavior and neurobiology, functional morphology, evolution and development, ecological physiology, and cell biology.The editors and the editorial board are committed to presenting science at its best. The editorial team is remaining flexible enough to adjust editorial practice to the ever changing field of animal biology.Recognizing the increasing importance of rapid, effective, international communication, Zoology will offerthe highest scientific standardsa short review timeonline publication in advance of the printed journalcolor plates free of charge (at the editor's discretion)papers abstracted/indexed by all the major scientific indexing servicesa parallel online version of each issueonline supplementary material including videosa pdf file or 25 free reprints for your personal use.ZOOLOGY invites suggestions for special issues.
