EVOLUTIONARY SYSTEMATICS
An International Journal Connecting Biological Connections & the Natural World

Evolutionary Systematics edited by the Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change and its research museums, the Museum of Nature Hamburg and Museum Koenig Bonn, is an international peer-reviewed journal dedicated to whole-organism biology of extant and fossil animals. The journal focuses on understanding biological diversity and its changes across time and space. The journal publishes original research and review articles in five core areas: taxonomy, morphology, and faunistics; molecular biodiversity research; biodiversity monitoring and conservation science; knowledge exchange and history of science; and new technologies and workflows in systematics. Its scope includes taxonomic descriptions and revisions, annotated type catalogues, science communication, data management, and molecular approaches in systematics. Faunistic notes and data papers must demonstrate clear relevance to zoological museum collections. Special issues, review articles, and comprehensive taxonomic monographs are welcomed; prospective authors are encouraged to consult the editors before submission. Contributions centered on ecology, physiology, functional anatomy, or ethology are considered only when they provide a clear evolutionary perspective.

Evolutionary Systematics succeeds the former LIB journals Mitteilungen aus dem Hamburgischen Zoologischen Museum und Institut and Bonn Zoological Bulletin and Monographs.
