Studies on Neotropical Fauna and Environment

Aims & Scope

There is still a far from complete understanding of the complex ecosystems in the Neotropics, although they have been studied since the first expeditions of the old world naturalists Marcgrave, Humboldt, Spix, Darwin, Bates and Müller.

The aims and scope of the Journal are, besides taxonomic and zoogeographic surveys, analyses of animal communities and their relationship with biotic and abiotic environmental conditions.

This includes the fauna of both terrestrial and fresh water ecosystems in the Neotropics.

Contributions that represent original research and mini-reviews are welcome.

Manuscripts presenting just checklists and new geographic records are not considered for publication.

If manuscripts do not meet the requirements of the journal, the editors reserve the right to reject manuscripts on submission or to ask for revisions prior to formal peer review.
