Systematics and Biodiversity
http://journals.cambridge.org/action/displayJournal?jid=SYS

Systematics and Biodiversity is an international life science journal devoted to whole-organism biology, especially systematics and taxonomic biodiversity. It emphasizes the importance and multi-disciplinary significance of systematics. It records the diversity of organisms through descriptive taxonomic papers. The underlying basis of biodiversity is addressed directly and indirectly, through studies of taxonomic relationships, and of growth, form, adaptation and function, and through analysis and synthesis of biodiversity patterns in time and space, especially with respect to environmental and human factors. Coverage also includes relevant theory and methodology, and conservation biology. Each issue contains a main section devoted to formal peer-reviewed original research papers, and a shorter, more informal 'Perspectives' section. As well as taxonomic discovery, description, revision and recording, the research section carries studies of adaptation, anatomy, biodiversity patterns in time and space (including response to environmental and human factors, and to global change), biogeography, coevolution, conservation biology, development, evolutionary biology, functional morphology, growth and form, molecular science, phylogenetics, speciation, and systematic ecology. State-of-knowledge reviews, and papers on the theory and practice of systematics are also welcome. There are no restrictions on length of contributions, the geographical location of authors, their material and study areas, or on the institutional locations of their studied collections. The 'Perspectives' section covers a similar range of subjects to the main section but gives scope for news, debate and comment, through editorials and guest editorials, magazine-style articles, and reviews of books, CDs and websites. This has been added to Biological Informatics Subject Tracerâ„¢ Information Blog.
