Arthropod Systematics and Phylogeny

Aims & Scope

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny releases three times per year.

Research fields covered are the taxonomy, morphology/anatomy, phylogeny (molecular or morphology-based), historical biogeography and palaeontology of arthropod taxa.

Arthropod Systematics & Phylogeny is the successor of Entomologische Abhandlungen, formerly published by the Museum of Zoology Dresden, Germany.
