Zoosystematics and Evolution, formerly Mitteilungen aus dem Museum fur Naturkunde in Berlin, Zoologische Reihe - is an international, peer-reviewed life science journal devoted to whole-organism biology. It publishes original research and review articles in the field of Metazoan taxonomy, biosystematics, evolution, morphology, development and biogeography at all taxonomic levels. Its scope encompasses primary information from collection-related research, taxonomic descriptions and discoveries, revisions, annotated type catalogues, aspects of the history of science, and contributions on new methods and principles of systematics. Articles whose main topic is ecology, functional anatomy, physiology, or ethology are only acceptable when of systematic or evolutionary relevance and perspective. All submitted manuscripts are subject to peer-review by the specialists for the respective topic. The high scientific profile of the journal is 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:.

Zootaxa is a peer-reviewed international journal for rapid publication of high quality papers on any aspect of systematic zoology, with a preference for large taxonomic works such as monographs and revisions. Zootaxa considers papers on all animal taxa, both living and fossil, and especially encourages descriptions of new taxa. All types of taxonomic papers are considered, including theories and methods of systematics and phylogeny, taxonomic monographs, revisions and reviews, catalogues/checklists, biographies and bibliographies, identification guides, analysis of characters, phylogenetic relationships and zoogeographical patterns of distribution, descriptions of taxa, and nomenclature. Open access publishing option is strongly encouraged for authors with research grants and other funds. For those without grants/funds, all accepted manuscripts will be published but access is secured for subscribers only. All manuscripts will be subjected to peer review before acceptance.

mSystems® is an open-access journal that publishes preeminent work that stems from applying technologies for high-throughput analyses to achieve insights into the metabolic and regulatory systems at the scale of both the single cell and microbial communities. The scope of mSystems encompasses all important biological and biochemical findings drawn from analyses of large data sets, as well as new computational approaches for deriving these insights. mSystems welcomes submissions from researchers who focus on the microbiome, genomics, metagenomics, transcriptomics, metabolomics, proteomics, glycomics, bioinformatics, and computational microbiology. mSystems provides streamlined decisions, while carrying on ASM's tradition of rigorous peer review.

Écoscience est une revue interdisciplinaire qui couvre tous les aspects de l'écologie. La
revue accepte les soumissions en français ou en anglais et publie des travaux
originaux et inédits sur les processus et les patrons écologiques à différentes
échelles spatiales et temporelles et à différents niveaux d'organisation
biologique.

Écoscience est une revue interenationale avec révision par les pairs qui publie des
travaux originaux de haute qualité. Tous les manuscrits sont sujets à une première
évaluation par les rédacteurs. Les manuscrits qui méritent une évaluation plus
poussée sont ensuite confiés à des évaluateurs experts indépendants et
anonymes. Le processus d'évaluation est en simple aveugle et les soumissions se
font en ligne via Editorial Manager.
