FOLIA ZOOLOGICA

Folia Zoologica publishes articles containing original insight into various aspects of vertebrate zoology that are not published and not under consideration for publication elsewhere. The journal welcomes significant papers presenting new and original data of more than regional significance. The journal is published quarterly and one volume usually consists of four issues. There is no page charge except of colour pages and other extras. Certain papers are rejected because they do not fit within the aims and scopes characterised above. Some examples include: (1) Investigations using vertebrates merely as models or emphasizing experimental or veterinary aspects which are not of substantial relevance to zoologists; (2) Studies using domestic or laboratory animals as models; (3) Papers in which the primary focus is, for example, paleontology, parasitology, physiology, histology or anatomy, but where the links to, and implications for, vertebrate zoology are not clear and have not been strongly developed; (4) Local or regional faunistic studies aimed at development of conservation strategies.
