Aims & Scope

BM - Cahiers de Biologie Marine publishes papers on all aspects of the biology of marine organisms and of biological oceanography, in particular in the following fields: Benthic and planktonic Ecology; Ecophysiology; Population dynamics and Population genetics; Food webs; Systematics and Phylogeny.

The key criteria are that the work clearly demonstrates its novelty, its importance to a particular field as well as its interest to those outside that discipline, and conclusions that are justified by the study.

Reviews on current topics are welcome.

Selected papers or abstracts from international symposia or workshops may also be considered.

Short communications (4 printed pages) may also be published.

Papers must be original and must not have been published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere.

They will be reviewed by at least two referees before acceptance for publication.

Short note about new record could be accepted only if this one significantly increases the distribution area of the species and if the paper includes a discussion about the general distribution of the species and the significance of the observed range extension.
