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.
