About Us — Zoological Records and Reviews

Zoological Records and Reviews (ZRR) is an international, peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing and synthesizing knowledge across all areas of zoological science. Building on the legacy of classic zoological documentation, ZRR serves as a comprehensive platform for both original research and critical reviews that shape the future of animal biology.

Our mission is to connect traditional zoological scholarship with modern interdisciplinary approaches — from taxonomy and evolutionary biology to ecology, behavior, and molecular systematics. We emphasize clarity, reproducibility, and innovation, encouraging contributions that integrate fieldwork, laboratory analysis, and computational modeling.


Aims & Scope

Zoological Records and Reviews publishes:

  • Comprehensive review articles summarizing current developments in zoology, ecology, and biodiversity science.

  • Original research papers contributing new insights into animal systematics, genetics, behavior, or environmental interactions.

  • Taxonomic notes and updates consistent with international codes of zoological nomenclature.

  • Perspective papers linking zoological knowledge with conservation policy and emerging biotechnologies.

Subject areas include (but are not limited to):
Animal Taxonomy and Phylogeny
Biodiversity and Biogeography
Evolutionary and Developmental Biology
Ecology and Conservation
Computational Zoology and Genomics


Editorial Vision
