European Zoological Journal

Aims & Scope

The European Zoological Journal (previously Italian Journal of Zoology) is an open access journal devoted to the study of all aspects of basic, comparative and applied protozoan and animal biology at molecular, cellular, tissue, organ, organismal, population, and community-ecosystem level.

Papers covering multiple levels of organization and integrative approaches to study animal form, function, development, ecology, evolution and systematics are welcome.

First established in 1930 under the name of Il Bollettino di Zoologia, the journal now has an international focus, reflected through its global editorial board, and wide author and readership.

Manuscripts should be submitted in English, and may be in the form of: (a) regular articles, (b) invited reviews, and (c) short commentaries of four printed pages at the maximum.

Abstracts and Conference proceedings approved by the UZI Executive Committee are also featured in the journal on an ad-hoc basis.
