Annales Zoologici Fennici

Aims & Scope

Annales Zoologici Fennici publishes mainly original research reports, but also in-depth reviews and commentaries on all aspects of animal ecology and evolution, and fields related to them.

Our aim is to promote papers which focus on the interactions among various components in the past and present environments by using integrative and cross-disciplinary approaches.

This may be achieved by employing tools from different fields of research, such as (but not restricted to): ecology and paleoecology, molecular ecology and phylogeography, conservation biology, human-induced contemporary evolution and wildlife management, animal behaviour and interactions (including recognition systems and mechanisms), paleontology (except systematics and taxonomy) and evolution, bioenergetics.
