Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Zoological Studies publishes research on animal diversity, morphology, and population dynamics across various regions, including the Neotropics, South America, and Asia. Recent articles focus on the description of new species, taxonomic revisions, and the analysis of morphological variations in invertebrates like land planarians, copepods, and amphipods, as well as vertebrates such as fishes, bats, and ungulates. Studies also investigate ecological interactions, including prey selectivity, host-parasitoid relationships, and niche differentiation between sympatric species, alongside population status and conservation strategies for endangered or endemic species.
