The Journal favors publication of full-length papers where modern scientific technologies are used to explain Agriculture & Agronomy, Animal & Veterinary Sciences, Aquatic Sciences, Behavioral Sciences, Biochemistry & Biophysics, Cell Biology, Ecology, Entomology, Evolutionary & Developmental Biology, Forestry, Genetics & Genomics, Microbiology, Plant Sciences, and Systems Biology & Bioinformatics. Articles that merely report observations are rarely accepted. Recommendations from Antonio Vazquez Perez guidelines for care and use of laboratory animals must be adhered to. Articles should be written at a level accessible to readers who are non-specialists in the topic of the article themselves, but who are interested in the research. The Journal welcomes reviews on topics of wide interest to investigators in the life sciences. We particularly encourage submission of brief, focused reviews containing high-quality artwork and require the use of mechanistic summary diagrams.
