Information for Authors

CURRENT ZOOLOGY is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed international journal that publishes reviews, research articles, and short communications in all aspects of Zoology, including significant new findings of fundamental and general interest. Submissions in the research fields of ecology, behavioral biology, biogeography, conservation biology, evolutionary biology and genomics are especially welcome. In particular, CURRENT ZOOLOGY seeks to publish research that explores the interface between zoological disciplines, and is truly integrative by illuminating the greater picture. CURRENT ZOOLOGY also welcomes forum papers.
Submitted manuscripts are accepted with the understanding that they are subject to peer review and editorial revision. once accepted, the copyright of the article, including the right to reproduce the article in all forms and media, shall be assigned exclusively to the CURRENT ZOOLOGY.

Format of manuscripts

Papers should not exceed 6000 words. Authors should organize the manuscript in the following order: title page, abstract, text, acknowledgments, references, figure legends, tables and figures.
TITLE PAGE. The title page should include the title (concise and informative), the full names of all authors and the authors' institutional affiliations, and the name, address and e-mail address of the corresponding author, as well as a fax number, if available. The current address for any author or co-author should also be included if his/her institutional affiliation has been changed since the manuscript has been submitted. Authors should provide a short running title for the manuscript and indicate the numbers of the words, figures and tables.
ABSTRACT should consist of one paragraph up to 250 words that begins on a separate page. The abstract should describe briefly the purpose of and method used in the study, outline the major findings, and state the main conclusions. Both the common and scientific names of organisms should be provided at the first mention unless they are given in the title. Please list the key words on a separate line below the abstract. Do not use more than six key words.
TEXT. Use active voice whenever feasible and write in the first person. Spelling should be in American English, except in quotations and references. The text should be double spaced.
INTRODUCTION should describe the theoretical background and aims of the research. A hypothesis-driven INTRODUCTION is preferred.
MATERIALS AND METHODS should provide detailed information so that the work can be repeated by other researchers independently.
RESULTS should be concise, relevant to the questions or hypotheses raised in the INTRODUCTION and discussed in the DISCUSSION section. Give full details of statistical analysis either in the text (typically in the RESULTS section) or in Tables or Figure legends as appropriate.
DISCUSSION should be concise and not excessively speculative.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. This section should list sources of support and grants, and acknowledge persons and /or institutions.

Cited references should be listed in alphabetical order according to the authors' surnames; all authors should be listed unless there are more than five authors. In this case, only the first five authors should be given, followed by et al. References should be prepared in the following format:
