Arthropod Structure & Development is a Journal of Arthropod Structural Biology, Development, and
Functional Morphology. The journal will consider manuscripts that deal with micro- and neuroanatomy, development, biomechanics, organogenesis
of the Arthropoda, and related subjects, covering also information on enigmatic groups such as the Tardigrada and Onychophora. The aim
of the journal is to publish papers in the areas of functional and comparative anatomy and development, with an emphasis on the role
of cellular organization in organ function. The journal will also publish papers on organogenisis, embryonic and postembryonic development,
and organ or tissue regeneration and repair. Manuscripts dealing with comparative and evolutionary aspects of microanatomy and development
are encouraged. Specifically, the following research areas will be covered:
• Integument and effector organs (exoskeleton, muscles
and glands).
• Sensory structures, peripheral, autonomic and central nervous systems, and neuroendocrine systems.
•
Circulatory, respiratory, visceral, and excretory organs.
• Reproductive systems, organogenesis and repair.
• Pattern
formation and development.
• Comparative microanatomy and morphology of arthropods from the phylogenetic view.
A thorough
but efficient peer-review system with the assistance of section and advisory editors of world-wide reputation will ensure that published
papers will conform to high scientific standards. Review articles and article series on relevant topics will be invited at regular intervals
and will be subject to peer-review. Particular emphasis will be given to high quality line and half-tone illustrations. Exceptional colour
plates will be printed free of charge. Supplementary 3-D and motion figures and other electronic addenda can be submitted with the manuscript
and published on the journal's website after acceptance.
