Revista de Biologia Tropical

Aims & Scope

Our journal publishes scientific articles that increase our understanding of biology, conservation, and biomedical life sciences in the tropics. Selection criteria are the quantity and quality of new information and its potential interest to the general audience as well as to specialists. The studied ecosystems, or at least the organisms, must be tropical. Regular issues We give preference to feature original articles that include testable study questions —for example, studies with an experimental design to evaluate factors that influence biological variables, or studies that explain the mechanisms underlying biological or biomedical phenomena such as, for example, behavior or physiology. Field studies should be extensive enough to identify temporal or spatial patterns. We also welcome systematic or phylogenetic studies above the species level, meta-analyses, and bibliometric studies that critically examine what is known and what remains to be done in any field of tropical biology. Review articles are mostly published by invitation of the Editorial Board to recognized authorities. Other specialists interested in submitting a review must first send a titled outline to [email protected]. Accepted proposals receive the same evaluation as regular manuscripts. All reviews and meta-analyses need to identify and fill gaps in knowledge, present methodological advances, and propose future research directions. Articles must be submitted to one of the journal's sections: Biotechnology : Biotechnology is a multidisciplinary field that involves working with biological systems, living organisms, or parts of these for applications oriented toward humanity's welfare using various tools and technologies. The journal publishes research articles in plant biotechnology, tissue culture, animal biotechnology, microbial biotechnology, bioremediation, genetic engineering, industrial biotechnology, marine biotechnology, food biotechnology, genomics, proteomics, bioinformatics, basic and applied research. Genetics : Genetics is a vast field, and the journal welcomes articles on phylogenetics, phylogeography, evolutionary biology/ecology, and population genetics. Botany and Mycology : The journal is seeking articles related to plants, algae, and fungi biology. It expects to receive articles on their physiology, structure, and functions and their roles in ecosystems. Terrestrial Ecology : Terrestrial ecology studies the interactions between plants and th
