Journal of Comparative Physiology B: Biochemical, Systemic, and Environmental Physiology

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Comparative Physiology B publishes peer-reviewed original articles and reviews on the comparative physiology of invertebrate and vertebrate animals.

Special emphasis is placed on integrative studies that elucidate mechanisms at the whole-animal, organ, tissue, cellular and/or molecular levels.

Review papers report on the current state of knowledge in an area of comparative physiology, and directions in which future research is needed.
