Abstract
This editorial accompanies the launch of BMC Zoology, a new open access, peer-reviewed journal within the BMC series that considers manuscripts on all aspects of zoology. BMC Zoology will increase and disseminate zoological knowledge through the publication of original research, methodology, database, software and debate articles. With the launch of BMC Zoology, the BMC series closes a gap in its portfolio of subject-specific research journals and is now able to cover all aspects of animal research together with BMC Ecology, BMC Evolutionary Biology and BMC Veterinary Research.
Highlights
BMC Zoology aims to be an allinclusive zoological journal that will disseminate new findings about the world’s fauna, ranging from the discovery of new species through knowledge about how the latest research is used in animal conservation to understanding the complex interplay between evolution, ecology and earth geological history to understand the current distribution of animals
The life history section of BMC Zoology is committed to publishing original research articles in all areas of animal life history including experimental, observational and descriptive studies, and covering the whole range of approaches, including evolutionary ecology, evolutionary demography, field observations, laboratory-based experimental approaches, genetics and genomics, phylogenetics, physiology and development
We are committed to ensure that BMC Zoology will be a home for all sound manuscripts from all areas of zoology
