Aims & Scope

Archiv für Molluskenkunde (ISSN 1869-0963, e-ISSN 2367-0622); Up to and including Vol. 138/2 papers were published under the ISSN 0003-9284. rchiv für Molluskenkunde is an international, peer-reviewed journal on all aspects of molluscan biodiversity.

It preferably publishes original research papers of high quality on systematics, taxonomy, phylogeny and morphology of all groups of molluscs, both recent and fossil from the Cenozoic.

Contributions of broad international interest on other aspects of malacology such as ecology and biogeography are welcome as well.

Papers on physiology, parasitology, regional faunistics or those on non-Cenozoic fossils or pure biostratigraphy should be submitted elsewhere.
