Journal Guide

Aims and ScopeRecognizing that research in human biology must be founded on a comparative knowledge of our closest relatives, this journal is the natural scientist's ideal means of access to the best of current primate research. 'Folia Primatologica' covers fields as diverse as molecular biology and social behaviour, and features articles on ecology, conservation, palaeontology, systematics and functional anatomy. In-depth articles and invited reviews are contributed by the world’s leading primatologists. In addition, special issues provide rapid peer-reviewed publication of conference proceedings. 'Folia Primatologica' is one of the top-rated primatology publications and is acknowledged worldwide as a high-impact core journal for primatologists, zoologists and anthropologists.

Foodborne Pathogens and Disease is a peer-reviewed, international journal publishing original articles and short communications on research and diseases caused by foodborne pathogens. The Journal includes timely reviews and special reports on topics such as agroterrorism and the safety of organically grown and genetically modified foods. Coverage includes: • Emerging pathogens • Emergence of drug resistance • Methods and technology for rapid and accurate detection • Strategies to destroy or control foodborne pathogens • Novel strategies for the prevention and control of plant and animal diseases that impact food safety • Biosecurity issues and the implications of new regulatory guidelines • Impact of changing lifestyles and consumer demands on food safety.

Frontiers in Zoology is ready to receive manuscripts on all aspects of animal life. Frontiers in Zoology is supported by the Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft.

General and Comparative Endocrinology publishes articles concerned with the many complexities of vertebrate and invertebrate endocrine systems at the sub-molecular, molecular, cellular and organismal levels of analysis. Although by no means comprehensive, submission of manuscripts in the following areas of endocrine science are encouraged:• endocrine regulation and interactions in physiological processes ("systems" biology - reproduction, body fluid homeostasis, skeletal and calcium homeostasis; gastrointestinal function; integumentary function; neurophysiology; cardiovascular function etc); • endocrine pharmacology; • the role of gene expression in endocrine systems; • behavioral endocrinology; • developmental endocrinology; • growth factors; • endocrine- environmental interactions; • immuno-endocrine interactions; • neuroendocrinology, neuropeptides, neurotransmitters; • hormonal receptors; • molecular evolution of hormones and gene families. • Comparative Molecular Analyses - Genomics - Proteomics - Transcriptomics - MetabolomicsManuscripts that advance understanding within and between these broad disciplines are especially encouraged.Benefits to authorsWe also provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Helminthologia publishes original peer-reviewed research, with the aim of contributing to the advancement of human and veterinary medicine as well as agronomy. It has been published by the Parasitological Institute of SAS since 1959; it is the only journal in Central Europe offering individual and collaborative research in veterinary medicine and natural science from international experts. The journal takes a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach to current issues in helminthology, and is committed to rapid dissemination of the latest research to the academic community. Helminthologia presents original articles, review articles, and research notes on various aspects of pure and applied helminthology, particularly on helminth- and endo-parasites in human and animal hosts, and plant parasites of environmental, health and veterinary importance, along with taxonomic contributions. Coverage includes parasitology, immunology, taxonomy, morphology, phytonematology and ecology.

The Herpetologists' League, established in 1946, is an international organization of people devoted to studying herpetology -- the biology of amphibians and reptiles. HL publishes two scholarly journals -- the quarterly Herpetologica, which contains original research papers and essays, and the annual supplement Herpetological Monographs, which contains lengthy research articles, syntheses, and special symposia.

"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others." - George Orwell, Animal FarmInvertebrates may be spineless, but they certainly aren't worthless. Consider the honey bee, which pollinates 80% of our agricultural crops, or oysters, which clarify water and provide habitats for other aquatic life. And invertebrates studied in the lab are helping to advance research in almost every area of biology and medicine-from embryonic development to aging processes. Yet despite these important contributions and the fact that invertebrates make up over 95% of all animal species, they get only a tiny fraction of the respect and attention paid to animals with backbones, even in the laboratory. This much-needed issue of the ILAR Journal sheds light on the importance, versatility, and care and welfare requirements of invertebrates. The authors present both practical and philosophical matters in ways that will be broadly accessible and useful to those who interact with these underappreciated species.

Invertebrate Survival Journal (ISJ) is an international and open access journal devoted to prompt and innovative studies on the basic defense mechanisms in invertebrates, in particular with a view to identifying biotechnologies able to act against derived diseases and related economic damage.Contributions will be mainly in the form of Letters to the Editor, Visions and Perspectives, Short Communications, Technical Reports, Research Reports, Review, Minireview and Reports of Meetings. Letters to the Editor can be commentaries or perspectives on invertebrate defence mechanisms or replies to the data published in ISJ.

Ibis publishes original papers, reviews and short communications reflecting the forefront of research activity in ornithological science, but with special emphasis on the conservation, ecology, ethology and systematics of birds. Ibis aims to publish as rapidly as is consistent with the requirements of peer-review and normal publishing constraints.
