Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Systematics and Biodiversity publishes research focused on the taxonomic revision of various animal groups, including corals, fungi, fireflies, kinorhynchs, gastropods, and snakes. Studies frequently employ integrative approaches, combining morphological and molecular data (e.g., mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequences) to delimit species, resolve phylogenetic relationships, and understand biogeographic patterns. The journal also addresses issues of cryptic diversity, invasive species, and the re-evaluation of taxonomic classifications based on new evidence.
