Frontiers in Zoology is an open access, peer-reviewed online journal publishing high quality research articles and reviews on all aspects of animal life.As a biological discipline, zoology has one of the longest histories. Today it occasionally appears as though, due to the rapid expansion of life sciences, zoology has been replaced by more or less independent sub-disciplines amongst which exchange is often sparse. However, the recent advance of molecular methodology into "classical" fields of biology, and the development of theories that can explain phenomena on different levels of organisation, has led to a re-integration of zoological disciplines promoting a broader than usual approach to zoological questions. Zoology has re-emerged as an integrative discipline encompassing the most diverse aspects of animal life, from the level of the gene to the level of the ecosystem.Frontiers in Zoology is the first open access journal focusing on zoology as a whole. It aims to represent and re-unite the various disciplines that look at animal life from different perspectives and at providing the basis for a comprehensive understanding of zoological phenomena on all levels of analysis. Frontiers in Zoology provides a unique opportunity to publish high quality research and reviews on zoological issues that will be internationally accessible to any reader at no cost.The journal was initiated and is supported by the Deutsche Zoologische Gesellschaft, one of the largest national zoological societies with more than a century-long tradition in promoting high-level zoological research.
Frontiers in Zoology是一份开放获取、同行评审的在线期刊，发表有关动物生活各个方面的高质量研究文章和评论。作为一门生物学学科，动物学是历史最悠久的学科之一。如今，由于生命科学的迅速发展，动物学似乎偶尔会被或多或少独立的分支学科所取代，而这些分支学科之间的交流往往很少。然而，分子方法学在生物学“经典”领域的最新进展，以及可以解释不同组织层次现象的理论的发展，导致了动物学学科的重新整合，促进了比通常更广泛的动物学问题方法.动物学作为一门综合学科重新出现，涵盖了从基因层面到生态系统层面的动物生命的最多样化方面。动物学前沿是第一个关注整个动物学的开放获取期刊。它旨在代表和重新统一从不同角度看待动物生命的各种学科，并为在各个分析层面全面理解动物学现象提供基础。 Frontiers in Zoology提供了一个独特的机会来发表关于动物学问题的高质量研究和评论，所有读者都可以在国际上免费获得这些研究和评论。该杂志由德国动物学协会发起并提供支持，德国动物学协会是最大的国家动物学协会之一一个多世纪以来促进高水平动物学研究的传统。
