• Bulletin of The Natural History Museum. Botany Series The Bulletin of the Natural History Museum, formerly the Bulletin of the British Museum (Natural History) - instituted in 1949, is issued in four scientific series Botany, Entomology, Geology (incorporating Mineralogy) and Zoology. Papers in the Bulletins are primarily the results of research carried out on the unique and ever-growing collections of the Museum, both by its scientific staff and by specialists from elsewhere who make use of the Museum's resources. Many of the papers are works of reference that will remain indispensable for years to come. All papers submitted for publication are subjected to external peer review before acceptance. The Botany Series is edited in the Museum's Department of Botany.

• ABIC - African Biodiversity Information Centre

  The African Zoology Department from the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA) has a unique taxonomic collection of African fauna, curating more than 10 million biological specimens with for instance 150.000 birds, 200.000 amphibians, 40.000 reptiles, 90.000 mammals, 950.000 fishes, 6 million insects and 1 million other invertebrates. It is one of the most important zoological collections from central Africa in the world. The collections originate for more than 80% from Congo, Rwanda and Burundi.

  These collections contain an enormous wealth of biodiversity information. They also have a historical component making it possible to study the changes in biodiversity.
  
  In order to facilitate access to these collections, the African Zoology Department created the African Biodiversity Information Centre (ABIC), an initiative launched after the signature of the Convention on Biological Diversity by Belgium (1992).

  The Belgian Journal of Botany is the official journal of the Royal Botanical Society of Belgium. It was first published in 1862 (at that time as the 'Bulletins de la Société Royale de Botanique de Belgique'). From 1990 on, it has been published under its present name. It appears in one volume of two issues per year.

  The Belgian Journal of Botany is an international journal, open to all fields of plant sciences. Please note, however, that papers restricted to purely nomenclatural matters or to floristical data of only local interest will not be accepted. The Belgian Journal of Botany publishes reviews and invited reviews, original research papers, short notes, letters to the editor, and book reviews. Short notes are meant to report findings that, although interesting, do not warrant full coverage in the form of a regular paper. Letters are meant to be a forum for Botanists, in particular for the members of the Society.

  English is the preferred language of the journal, although papers written in one of Belgium's three national languages (Dutch, French, and German) may be accepted (especially letters).

• Biology and Philosophy The past decades have witnessed fascinating and controversial advances in the biological sciences. One may think, for instance, of methods for analyzing the basic molecular units of heredity; of proposals and clarifications of the appropriate methods of classifying organisms; of exciting new ideas about the nature of the fossil record and their implications for the elucidation of evolutionary mechanisms; and of ways in which the biological study of behavior has been extended, theoretically and experimentally, and of supposed implications for humankind. To add to these internal issues, the outside world has also seen much debate on biology - in the world of education, for instance.
  These and other issues have made biology one of the most exhilarating areas of science, and have aroused in biologists and philosophers an awareness that there is a need for meta-theoretical analysis, both about the very nature of biology, as well as about its social implications.
  Biology and Philosophy is aimed at a broad readership, drawn from both the sciences and the humanities. The journal subscribes to no specific school of biology, nor of philosophy, and publishes work from authors of all persuasions and all disciplines. The editorial board reflects this attitude in its composition and its world-wide membership.

• Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History The Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History was established to provide an outlet for larger scientific manuscripts. It began in 1956 as the Bulletin of the Florida State Museum, Biological Sciences Series. In 1990, Volume 35, the title was changed to Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History, Biological Sciences Series, and in 1995, Volume 37, it became simply Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History.

  The Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History promotes the dissemination of research conducted by its faculty, staff, and immediate associates. Appropriate, fully funded manuscripts from external researchers will also be entertained. Priority will be given to specimen-based research in zoology, botany, paleontology, and archaeology. The geographic scope of the Bulletin is the circum-Caribbean region, including Florida and southeastern United States, but research from other areas will also be considered. Address all inquiries to the editor of the Bulletin. (See below)

  The Bulletin of the Florida Museum of Natural History is published at irregular intervals. Volumes contain approximately 300 pages. The number of papers contained in each volume varies, depending upon the number of pages in each paper. Complete volumes of related papers have been published, and inquiries about putting together complete volumes are welcomed. To the present, 46 volumes have been published with the number of papers in each volume varying from 3 to 20.

• Canadian Journal of Arthropod Identification, The
  The CANADIAN JOURNAL OF ARTHROPOD IDENTIFICATION is a web-based journal devoted to the publication of works that contribute significantly to the recognition and documentation of Canada's arthropod fauna.
  
  Contributions must review the taxonomy and identification of one or more groups of terrestrial arthropods for all or part of Canada. Each contribution is expected to include novel and fully illustrated identification guides to at least one taxon for a significant geopolitical region, habitat, or ecozone. Contributions must deal with the Canadian fauna, but need not be restricted to Canada, and we welcome more inclusive submissions covering areas including all or part of Canada (such as the Great Lakes region, eastern North America, or the entire continent) or habitats of significance to Canada (such as North American spruce forests or the Great Lakes). Contributions can be at any taxonomic level.

• Entomologia y Vectores

  Field of Interest: It is dedicated to the field of Entomology and Acarology, with emphasis to the study of vectors, related to human and animal (veterinary) diseases, insect pests of cultivated plants and/or of economic interest, including related subjects such as Geography and Climatology applied to Entomology. Articles on history of Entomology, including biographies of distinguished entomologists are also published. Historic Background: The journal Entomologia y Vectores was born in Argentina in 1994 by the altruistic efforts of two researchers: Rodolfo U. Carcavallo from Argentina and Itamar Galindez-Girón from Venezuela who turned out the journal international. With financial support of Universidad de Los Andes (Venezuela) and CiBIOM-CONICET of Argentina, number nº1 of volume nº1 of the journal was edited in February of 1994, including articles about vectors of Chagas Disease, dealing with biology, morphology and taxonomy, including the description of a new species of Triatoma. It was created with the purpose of publishing information on the arthropod vectors involved in pathologies, including aspects of taxonomy, physiology, morphology, ecology, etiology, geographic distribution, genetics, control and history of Entomology. Particular attention was given to subjects that have to do with population dynamics of pests and diseases taking into account evident climate global changes, a subject rarely considered in other journals that deal with Entomology.

• Insect Systematics and Evolution

  Insect Systematics & Evolution was founded in 1970 as Entomologica Scandinavica (hereafter ES) on the initiative of the Natural Science Research Councils of the Nordic countries. Initially, the purpose of the new journal was to accommodate research papers in entomology mainly written by Scandinavians in English, French or German and directed to the international entomological community. The intention was to strengthen the international profile of Nordic entomology, but also to make the existing national entomological journals more attractive to the members of the national entomological societies by focusing on local faunistics etc. After a decade or so, it was decided that ES should no longer publish papers dealing with ecology and faunistics, but concentrate on systematic entomologywithout geographical preferences. Initially, contributions from Scandinavian authors dominated the contents of ES, but this has changed significantly during the last 20 years.

  In year 2000, starting with vol. 31, the name of the journal was changed to Insect Systematics & Evolution. The name change sprung from a desire to emphasize the importance of modern systematic entomology in evolutionary biology. This is reflected in the increasing number of papers published in the journal incorporating phylogenetic reconstruction from molecular as well as morphological characters. High-standard, comprehensive taxonomic revisions and monographs will continue to appear in Insect Systematics & Evolution, as well as papers applying comparative morphology, biogeography or ecological data to systematic or evolutionary problems. Traditionally, entomology in Scandinavia includes other terrestrial arthropods than insects, such as spiders (Araneae), harvestmen (Opiliones), mites (Acari), centipedes (Chilopoda), and millipedes (Diplopoda). The journal will continue to welcome contributions on all groups of insects and other terrestrial arthropods, living as well as extinct, without any geographical preference.

• International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology The International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology (IJSEM) publishes papers dealing with all phases of the systematics of all micro-organisms, including taxonomy, nomenclature, identification, characterization and culture preservation. Papers dealing only with characteristics that are differential below the subspecies level, primarily of epidemiological interest, will not be considered. Descriptions of cyanobacterial species already described under the Botanical Code will not be re-described under the Bacteriological Code. The journal does not encourage the submission of results of intraspecific characterization, e.g. typing methods such as rrn operon sequence microheterogeneities, nor the development of identification systems based upon these results to be used for diagnostic purposes. Infrasubspecific taxa are not covered by Rules of the Bacteriological Code and papers on such taxa are outside the scope of the journal. IJSEM will publish molecular environmental papers that have a strong taxonomic or evolutionary content.

  It is a requirement of IJSEM and the ICSP that authors of new names and new combinations provide evidence that types are deposited in two recognized culture collections in two different countries (i.e. documents certifying deposition and availability of type strains). Papers will not be accepted until such documentation has been received by the Editor.

• Journal of Afrotropical Zoology (JAZ)

  The Journal of Afrotropical Zoology continuing the sub-series 'Miscellanea' within the main series formerly entitled ‘Annalen van het museum voor Midden-Afrika (serie Zoölogie) - Annales du Musée royal de l’Afrique Centrale (série Zoologie)’.

  This impressive series had two main formats: in-4° and in-8°. The former, which is a large format, started in 1889 with a series of volumes on African fishes by Boulenger, the last publication appearing in 1966.
  The first volume of the smaller format series was published in 1948, the last publication of which appeared as recently as 2003. Whereas the series was in principle devoted to monographs on the Afrotropical fauna, several volumes, including the last one (vol. 291), contained a number of smaller articles.
  
  These journal type volumes, entitled ‘Miscellanea’, replaced the Journal of African Zoology, a periodical that was started in 1911 as a private initiative by H. Schouteden, who became director of the ‘Musée du Congo Belge’ in 1927. Initially the journal was called Revue de Zoologie africaine. It changed names several times and between 1927 (vol. 17) and 1974 (vol. 88), it bore the name Revue de Zoologie et Botanique africaines. In 1987, the then editor in chief, P. Basilewski, changed it again to Revue de Zoologie africaine. H. André, the third and last editor, made it bilingual (Revue de Zoologie africaine – Journal of African Zoology) in 1988 and finally dropped the French part to give it its final title Journal of African Zoology in 1994. The journal was discontinued in 1996 after 110 volumes.
  
  The Revue de Zoologie africaine had been an important outlet for contributions on the Afrotropical fauna, mainly from collaborators of the Royal Museum for Central Africa (RMCA), and its discontinuation left a serious gap. The recent actualization of the RMCA publications provided an ideal opportunity to fill this gap by launching the present Journal of Afrotropical Zoology. 

  The Journal of Afrotropical Zoology is obviously devoted to the biology of animals living in the tropical part of Africa, including the islands with that climatic regime but excluding the area north of the Sahara. Although the divide between the Afrotropical and the Palaearctic realms is not clear-cut, it is common knowledge that it lies somewhere near the Tropic of Cancer (23°30’N), although some of the mountain areas south of it may contain Palaerctic elements and vice versa for more northern ranges. To the south, the entirety of Africa is included, although the southern tip of the continent is known to have a temperate climate. However, there is no clear zoological boundary between tropical and southern temperate and it is generally accepted that the Afrotropical realm includes all of South Africa.

  Lundiana: International Journal of Biodiversity. The taxonomical collections committee from the Institute of Biological Sciences at Federal University of Minas Gerais is devoted to integrating and divulging the knowledge on Brazilian biodiversity. For this reason, the members of the committee are investing on several activities. Among these, one we have special appreciation for is the edition of a scientific journal called “Lundiana”. This name is a homage to a Danish naturalist who lived in Minas Gerais state devoting his life to botany, zoology and, especially, to palaeontology. This journal was created two decades ago by the Department of Zoology and had only two issues published. Today, as a journal for the study of biodiversity on its several perspectives (Biogeography, Conservation, Ecology, Evolution and Taxonomy) mainly from the Neotropical region, the committee wants this to be, not just an institutional journal, but also a vehicle for the scientific community at large.

• Mammalian Biology Mammalian Biology ( formerly Zeitschrift für Säugetierkunde) is an international scientific journal edited by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Säugetierkunde (German Society for 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 if they are of substantial relevance to mammalogists. Contributions may be written in German or English. In view of the international readership of the journal English is preferred. 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 for biologists and zoologists in general as well as to veterinarians and medical scientists.

• Raffles Bulletin of Zoology The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology (RBZ) is a peer-reviewed journal, which rapidly publishes high quality papers in Taxonomy, Ecology and Conservation Biology of animals from Southeast Asia and its adjacent areas.  The journal aims to build up quality information on the “animal diversity” of Southeast Asia in particular.  The journal will also publish papers from outside the stated geographic range that deal with material deposited in the Zoological Reference Collection (ZRC) of the Raffles Museum of Biodiversity Research (RMBR), National University of Singapore. Both descriptive and experimental papers will be considered.  Similarly, both single species and ecosystem studies will be considered for publication.  Manuscripts that are checklists or based on new records will no longer be accepted unless they are of significant scientific value. Papers outside the stated policy and new records of animals will only be accepted at the discretion of the Editors/Editorial Board.
  
  The Raffles Bulletin of Zoology will consist of a single volume (two issues) each year, continuing the sequence of its two predecessors, Bulletin of the Raffles Museum (1928-1960) and Bulletin of the National Museum of Singapore (1961-1970).  A separately numbered supplement series will be published as and when manuscripts and funding permits.  From 2005, the RBZ will be converted to an online publication.  As such, very few hardcopies will be printed and papers published in the RBZ will be circulated as PDF files.  Papers published in the RBZ will be available for downloading via the RBZ website for research purposes.

• Visual Key Visual Key is a cross-platform, interactive, rich-graphic web application for identification of organisms. It has been written as an alternative to similar web and standalone platform-dependent applications. The major difference between such programs and Visual Key, that the latter uses character maps that allow acquiring and describing characters directly from the image of an organism. Since the goal of the project was to create a program that does not assume any previous knowledge of a user about data or principles of interactive idenifications, some other features are not implemented.
  
   Visual Key is a client-side program that uses objects and the language already predefined in major browsers, and therefore it is small, relatively fast, and cross-platform. Once downloaded it will work even without internet connection.
  
   The program handles data matrices in the Nexus format and supports inapplicable, missing, multistate, and polymorphic characters. Visual Key can generate descriptions of given taxa at any time during identification.

• „Hands-on Barcoding“ - International Workshop and Symposium on the methods of Animal-barcoding Frankfurt / Main, Germany

  A workshop funded by the Biodiversity and Climate Research Centre (BiK-F)

  Organizers: Markus Pfenninger, Christian Printzen, Adrian Pachzelt

   

  DNA-Barcoding for taxonomic identification is an emerging application in biodiversity research, which allows fast, objective and cheap species identification. Practical application however, requires the building of a reference-barcode-library, whose scientific relevance profits from the unambiguous identification of the reference individuals by taxonomic specialists. Yet the construction of the reference-barcode-library does not seem to proceed in the speed possible or necessary.

  This workshop aims at taxonomical specialists, particularly curators from museums interested in getting insights in barcoding methodology.

  The participants will learn:

   

  1. meaning of barcoding in the context of international research
  2. documentation of samples
  3. fotographic archiving of specimen
  4. long term archiving of specimen
  5. preparation of the tissue for DNA-barcoding
  6. publishing in the barcode of life database (BOLD).

   

   

  The participants are invited to bring their own animal sample. In the end it will be possible to take the respective DNA-sequences with you.

   

  The workshop is limited to 20 participants and registration will open on 1st of December 2009. Please download here the registration form. The

  registration deadline is February 15th, 2010. The registration fee of 100 € does not include traveling costs and accommodation.

   

  Near the end of the workshop there will be an open for broad public one-day symposium (March 25th , 2010). Participants interested are

  welcome to present either a talk or a poster.

  Invited speakers for the Symposium are Prof. Mehrdad Hajibabaei (University of Ottawa, Canada) and Prof. Miguel Vences (University of Braunschweig).

   

  Please send questions and/or the registration form to: barcoding@senckenberg.de
