Systematic and Applied Microbiology deals with various aspects of microbialdiversity and systematics of prokaryotes. It focuses on Bacteria and Archaea; eukaryotic microorganisms will only be considered in rare cases. The journal perceives a broad understanding of microbial diversity and encourages the submission of manuscripts from the following branches of microbiology: Systematics: Theoretical and practical issues dealing with classification and taxonomy, i.e. (i) new descriptions or revisions of prokaryotic taxa, including descriptions of not-yet cultured taxa in the category Candidatus (ii) innovative methods for the determination of taxonomical and genealogical relationships, (iii) evaluation of intra-taxon diversity through multidisciplinary approaches, (iv) identification methods. Applied Microbiology: all aspects of agricultural, industrial, and food microbiology are welcome, including water and wastewater treatment. Comparative biochemistry and genomics: studies concerning biochemical/metabolic and genomic diversity of cultured as well as yet-uncultured Bacteria and Archaea. Ecology: descriptions of the microbial diversity in natural and man-made ecosystem; studies quantifying the size, dynamics, and function of microbial populations; innovative research on the interaction of micro-organisms with each other and their biotic and abiotic environment.

Now Publishing with Taylor & Francis: Free Online access to Volume 8 Issue 1 Systematics and Biodiversity is devoted to whole-organism biology. It is a quarterly, international, peer-reviewed, life science journal, without page charges, which is published by Taylor & Francis for The Natural History Museum, London. The criterion for publication is scientific merit. Systematics and Biodiversity documents the diversity of organisms in all natural phyla, through taxonomic papers that have a broad context (not single species descriptions), while also addressing topical issues relating to biological collections, and the principles of systematics. It particularly emphasises the importance and multi-disciplinary significance of systematics, with contributions which address the implications of other fields for systematics, or which advance our understanding of other fields through taxonomic knowledge, especially in relation to the nature, origins, and conservation of biodiversity, at all taxonomic levels. Each issue contains a main section devoted to formal peer-reviewed original research papers, and a shorter, more informal 'Perspective' section. As well as taxonomic discovery, description, revision and recording, the research section carries studies of adaptation, anatomy, biodiversity patterns in time and space (including response to environmental and human factors, and to global change), biogeography, coevolution, conservation biology, development, evolutionary biology, functional morphology, growth and form, molecular science, phylogenetics, cladistics, speciation, and systematic ecology. State-of-knowledge reviews and papers on the theory and practice of systematics are also welcome. There are no restrictions on the geographical location of authors, their material and study areas, or on the institutional locations of their studied collections. The 'Perspective' section covers a similar range of subjects to the main section, but gives scope for debate and comment as well as reviews of books.

Since its inception in 1867, The American Naturalist has maintained its position as one of the world's most renowned, peer-reviewed publications in ecology, evolution, and population and integrative biology research. While addressing topics in community and ecosystem dynamics, evolution of sex and mating systems, organismal adaptation, and genetic aspects of evolution, AmNat emphasizes sophisticated methodologies and innovative theoretical syntheses--all in an effort to advance the knowledge of organic evolution and other broad biological principles.

The ISME Journal seeks to promote diverse and integrated areas of microbial ecology spanning the breadth of microbial life, including bacteria, archaea, microbial eukaryotes, and viruses. Contributions of broad biological interest and impact are especially encouraged. Topics of particular interest within the journal's scope include those listed below: * Microbial population and community ecology *Theoretical advances in microbial population and community ecology, including novel theoretical development relevant to the diversity and structure of microbial populations and communities, advances in modeling and comparisons of microbial ecological principles with those in macroecology *Biogeography of microbial populations *Environmental factors (biotic and abiotic) defining the distribution and abundance of microbial populations *Integrated advances in microbial ecophysiology *Phage genetics and ecology and environmental virology, including studies of interactions between viruses and the environment, vectors of viral transmission, epidemiology, and diversity (including generation and maintenance) * Community level research of microbial assemblages, with emphasis on the contribution of individuals and populations * Microbial survival and persistence mechanisms: Development and selection for resistance (heavy metals, antibiotics etc.) * Microbe-microbe and microbe-host interactions * Microbial communication and signaling, and advances that allow study on scales relevant to microbial interactivities * Plant-microbe interactions, including feed back and response pathways, underlying mechanisms, environmental cues, unique traits, evolution, adaptation and fitness * Threat of emerging diseases (pathogenicity, epidemiology, ecology of reservoirs, vectors and host) * Symbioses and syntrophic relationships * Microbial contribution to medical biotechnology and microbial therapy * Commensal microbial ecology - intestinal, oral, etc. * Evolutionary genetics * Ecological aspects of experimental evolution * Insights into genome evolution and adaptation * Genetics and ecology of the horizontal gene pool * Advances in mathematical and evolutionary genetics * Integrated genomics and post-genomics approaches in microbial ecology * Studies of in situ function, gene regulation and expression * Metagenomic genomic approaches to understanding and accessing the genomic potential of microbial communities * Novel microbial ecology approaches involving (environmental) proteomics and metabolomics o Theoretical and practical advances in Bioinformatics, including improved linkages between ecological parameters and molecular data, as well as advances in curation and annotation practices * Novel "-omics' approaches that address microbial activities and potential at the single-cell level * Microbial engineering * Environmental Biotechnology, including ecological interactions key to waste water treatment, water management, biofilters, energy production, etc. * Development and mechanisms of microbial biocatalysts * Developments in bioremediation and biodegradation * Microbial contributions and potential in biofuel technologies * Microbial process modeling and its application * Geomicrobiology and microbial contributions to geochemical cycles * Integrated advances in biogeochemistry * Microbial contributions to geochemical cycles * Importance and mechanisms of microbe-mineral interactions * Microbial ecology and functional diversity of natural habitats * Terrestrial and subsurface microbial ecology * Aquatic and sediment microbial ecology * Linking phylogeny and function in diverse ecosystems - common, novel and extreme * Biofilm functional microbial ecology * Aero - microbiology (distribution, source impact etc), including issues of climate and dispersal * Microbial processes and interactions in extreme or unusual environments * Microbial ecosystem impacts * Impacts of microbial processes on climate change, and impacts of climate change on microbial communities and processes * Food web structure, nutrient flow, and biological transformations from micro- through macro- scales * Systems microbiology and integration of microbial ecology into systems ecology.

The Journal of Parasitology is the official journal of the American Society of Parasitologists (ASP). The Journal is nonprofit and dues of the membership support the cost of publication. Manuscripts in English are accepted from investigators in any country regardless of whether they are members of the Society. The Journal publishes official business of the ASP and results of new original research, primarily on parasitic animals.

The Journal of Wildlife Management (JWM) is the preeminent journal for original research on the scientific and management foundations of wildlife management.

Their structure need not conform to that of standard scientific articles but writing style must be clear and concise. All material presented must be well documented, critically analysed and objectively presented. All papers are peer-reviewed.
