Mammalian Biology (formerly Zeitschrift für Säugetierkunde) is an international scientific journal edited by the Deutsche Gesellschaft
für Säugetierkunde (German Society of Mammalogy). The journal is devoted to the publication of research on mammals. Its scope
covers all aspects of mammalian biology, such as anatomy, morphology, palaeontology, taxonomy, systematics, molecular biology, physiology,
neurobiology, ethology, genetics, reproduction, development, evolutionary biology, domestication, ecology, faunistics, wildlife biology,
conservation biology, and
the biology of zoo mammals.
To qualify for publication, a manuscript must contribute to the understanding
of mammalian biology by presenting either new and original research data (as
a full article or in short communication format)
or a thorough review of a particular
topic of mammalogical research. Investigations using mammals merely as models
or emphasizing
experimental or veterinary aspects are of interest only if they
are of substantial relevance to mammalogists. Studies testing
explicitly
formulated hypotheses are preferred to those presenting primarily descriptive
results.
At present, one
volume consisting of six issues is published each year. Due
to its wide range of topics, Mammalian Biology is primarily of interest
to scientists
working on the listed various fields of mammalogy but also to biologists and
zoologists in general as well as to
veterinarians and medical scientists.
