Darwiniana is a half-yearly botanic publication of the Instituto de Botánica Darwinion, (CONICET-ANCEFN). Its mission is to publish original scientific papers and reviews from different areas of plant science with the exception of those which are agronomical or applied botanical research (of direct transfer). Main articles are usually included in the following sections: Archeobotany and Ethnobotany, Reproductive biology, Ecology and Phytogeography, Structure and Development, Genetics, Systematics and Taxonomy of Nonvascular Plants, and Systematics and Taxonomy of Vascular Plants. The Editorial Board may publish book reviews, obituaries, communications to the subscribers, and the instructions to authors in the section "Miscellany".The editing process includes 4 main succesive steps: 1) a preliminary evaluation of the article; 2) a peer review made by two or three independent reviewers not belonging to the Darwiniana Editorial Board; 3) the style corrections; and 4) correction of print proofs. .

Huge volumes of primary data are currently archived in numerous open-access databases, and with new generation technologies becoming more common in laboratories, large datasets will become even more prevalent than today. The lasting archiving, accurate curation, efficient analysis and precise interpretation of all of these data are a challenge. Collectively, database development and biocuration are at the forefront of the endeavor to make sense of this mounting deluge of data.

The deep sea is interpreted to be the ocean beyond the continental shelf. Papers dealing exclusively with areas inshore of the shelf break are in general more appropriate to our companion journal http://www.elsevier.com/locate/csrContinental Shelf Research. Review papers and long contributions are best directed to http://www.elsevier.com/locate/poceanProgress in Oceanography. Inquiries regarding special topic issues should be directed to the Editor of http://www.elsevier.com/locate/dsr2Deep-Sea Research Part II: Topical Studies in Oceanography.

Dendrochronologia is an international scholarly journal in tree-ring research. It publishes high-quality original research dealing with growth rings of woody plants and the application of tree-ring studies to problems in a wide variety of fields including, but not limited to, archaeology, botany, climatology, ecology, forestry, geology and hydrology. Original research articles, reviews, communications, technical notes and personal notes are considered for publication.

Aims and Scope

The journal is an international scientific periodical covering all aspects of zoological gardens, as for example:

• experiences in breeding and keeping zoo animals
• management of zoological gardens
• behavioural science
• studies of free-living animals
• conservation of rare and threatened species
• reintroduction projects
• planning, building, and designing at zoological gardens including horticulture
• veterinary medicine
• zoological pedagogic
• history of zoological gardens
• news from zoological gardens
• book reviews.

The journal Der Zoologische Garten has been founded in 1859 (since 1929 published as as "new series").

Der Zoologische Garten ist eine wissenschaftliche Zeitschrift, die allen die Tiergärtnerei (im weitesten Sinne) betreffenden Originalarbeiten offensteht. Neben größeren Abhandlungen werden "Kleinere Mitteilungen", "Nachrichten aus Zoologischen Gärten" u. dgl. aufgenommen.

Founded in 1857 as Berliner Entomologische Zeitschrift, the journal Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is an international journal of systematic entomology. It publishes original research papers in English on the systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny, comparative morphology, and biogeography of insects. Other arthropods are also considered where of relevance to the biology of insects. The geographical scope of the journal is worldwide. Priority is given to revisional work and comprehensive studies of phylogenetic, biological or zoogeographical relevance. We also invite review articles pertaining to the systematics and biology of insects. Impact Factor 0.400* * Thomson Reuters Citation Report 2009 Deutsche Entomologische Zeitschrift is dedicated to provide a high-quality forum to contribute to the documentation of insect species, their distribution, their properties, and their phylogenetic relationships. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the leading specialists for the respective topic. Distinguished authorities form the international advisory board which guarantees the high scientific profile of the journal. This reflected by an outstanding print quality which is adept in conveying the valuable information contained in the often detailed line drawings and photographs of scientific illustrations. Authors are provided - without any page charge - 25 reprints and a high-resolution pdf of their article. For detailed information readers and authors are asked to refer to the following URL for the journal at Wiley Interscience and the Museum fur Naturkunde, respectively:.

Diatom Research is the journal of the International Society for Diatom Research. The journal is published quarterly, in March, June, September and December, and welcomes manuscripts on any aspect of diatom biology. In addition to full-length papers, short notes and reviews of recent literature are published which need not contain all the sections required for full-length papers; we see these as being necessary to record information which is of interest but which cannot be followed up in detail. Discursive 8220;Opinion8221; papers are encouraged which would not necessarily follow the normal lay-out. If extremely long papers are to be offered, the author(s) should contact the editors first to discuss any problems. Book reviews, obituaries and meeting reports can be published. All papers will be subject to critical review by the editors and referees, as appropriate to their content. Papers will be accepted in English only.

The origin and early evolution of life is an inseparable part of the discipline of Astrobiology. The journal Origins of Life and Evolution of Biospheres places special importance on this interconnection. While any scientific study which contributes to our understanding of the origins, evolution and distribution of life in the Universe is suitable for inclusion in the journal, some examples of important areas of interest are: prebiotic chemistry and the nature of Earth's early environment, self-replicating and self-organizing systems, the theory of the RNA world and of other possible precursor systems, and the problem of the origin of the genetic code. Early evolution of life - as revealed by elucidation of biochemical pathways, molecular phylogeny, the study of Precambrian sediments and fossils and of major innovations in microbial evolution - forms a second focus. The journal presents experimental papers, theoretical articles and authoritative literature reviews.

The leading journal in its field, MEPS covers all aspects of marine ecology, fundamental and applied. Topics covered include microbiology, botany, zoology, ecosystem research, biological oceanography, ecological aspects of fisheries and aquaculture, pollution, environmental protection, conservation, and resource management. MEPS aims for the highest quality of scientific contributions, quick publication, and a high technical standard of presentation.
