Australian Zoologist

Aims & Scope

RZS publications strive to encourage a diversity of ideas, information and research on Australian animals and the conservation of their habitats.

A principle of editorial policy is to maintain the relevance of the study of all aspects of zoology to modern science and to recognise the interdisciplinary nature of many of the frontiers of modern research.

Original papers and review articles dealing with these topics are welcomed by the Editor.

The journal encourages authors to include illustrations, particularly maps and photographs.

All papers are rigorously edited and reviewed by independent referees.
