Journal of Animal Diversity publishes original scientific research, not published before or under consideration elsewhere, in the broad aspects of Animal Diversity including: species diversity, genetic diversity, and ecological diversity, with their detailed subaspects.
The editors of journal welcome the submission of original manuscripts including research articles, short communications, and reviews. Book reviews, scientific announcements, and Special Issues relating to the topics of the Journal will also be considered.
Species diversity encompasses the taxonomic hierarchy and its components, from individuals upwards to species, genera and beyond (Individuals, Populations, Subspecies, Species, Genera, Families, Phyla, Domains or Kingdoms).
