Evolutionary Systematics

Evolutionary Systematics, edited by the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change along with its two research museums (Museum of Nature Hamburg and Museum Koenig Bonn), is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to whole-organism biology, covering both extant and fossil animals. The journal's primary focus is on understanding biological diversity, analysing its changes, and exploring the causes of these changes across time and space.

This journal publishes original research and review articles that examine the causes and consequences of change in nature. It covers five key areas:

• Taxonomy, morphology and faunistics
• Molecular biodiversity research
• Biodiversity monitoring and conservation science
• Knowledge exchange and history of science
• New technologies and workflows in systematics

The journal's scope includes taxonomic descriptions, revisions, annotated type catalogues, science communication, molecular methods, and systematics principles. Faunistic notes and data-driven papers should be clearly relevant to zoological museum collections. Special volumes, review articles, and comprehensive taxonomic monographs are encouraged, but authors are advised to contact the editors prior to submission. Articles focusing on ecology, functional anatomy, physiology, or ethology will be considered only if they have a clear systematic or evolutionary relevance.

Evolutionary Systematics is a diamond open-access journal published with support from Pensoft Publishers. All accepted manuscripts are published free of charge, with copyright retained by the authors.
