Zoological Letters is an open access journal that publishes new and important findings in the zoological sciences. As a sister journal to Zoological Science, Zoological Letters covers a wide range of basic fields of zoology, from taxonomy to bioinformatics. We also welcome submissions of paleontology reports as part of our effort to contribute to the development of new perspectives in evolutionary zoology. Our goal is to serve as a global publishing forum for fundamental researchers in all fields of zoology.
《动物学快报》是一本开放获取的期刊，刊登动物学科学中新的和重要的发现。作为《动物科学》的姊妹期刊， 《动物快报》涵盖了动物学的广泛基础领域，从分类学到生物信息学。我们也欢迎提交古生物学报告，作为我们努力的一部分，以促进进化动物学新观点的发展。我们的目标是为动物学各个领域的基础研究人员提供一个全球性的出版论坛。
