Zoology

A section of Biology (ISSN 2079-7737).

Section Information

As a branch of biology, zoology can be viewed as an integrative domain of research encompassing all aspects of animal life, from the level of the gene to the level of the ecosystem. The section Zoology covers a large number of fields of research that emerge from the “natural history” of animals throughout all human civilizations around the world.

Zoology is primarily concerned with a comprehensive understanding of the biology of extant and extinct animals, including various domains such as morphology, physiology, biochemistry, those involving -omic approaches, structural and developmental biology, evo-devo, paleontology, evolution and phylogeny, biogeography, ethology and behavioral ecology, general ecology, and all questions related to animal responses to the changing world due to human activities. This section welcomes both empirical and applied research. From a taxonomic point of view, the section covers all groups of unicellular and multicellular invertebrate and vertebrate organisms. It is our aim to publish papers that will have a significant impact on our knowledge of animal biology to support the progress of the discipline of zoology in Biology. Such papers will provide an opportunity to highlight the key concepts and applications that have emerged over a long period in animal natural history.

We invite prospective authors to publish original and review articles in the various Special Issues offered by the section to cover up-to-date topics in fundamental and applied studies of the animal kingdom. The section Zoology invites manuscripts covering all aspects of animal life, permitting us to build a much-needed holistic approach to respond to the following question: “What does this mean to the animal, regardless of the level of the studies?”
