Previously a supplement to Proceedings B, and launched as an independent journal in 2005, Biology Letters is a primarily online, peer-reviewed journal that publishes short, high-quality articles, reviews and opinion pieces from across the biological sciences. The scope of Biology Letters is vast - publishing high-quality research in any area of the biological sciences. However, we have particular strengths in the biology, evolution and ecology of whole organisms. We also publish in other areas of biology, such as molecular ecology and evolution, environmental science, and phylogenetics.
《生物学通讯》（Biology Letters）于2005年作为一份独立期刊发行，是一份主要在线的同行评审期刊，发表来自生物科学领域的简短、高质量的文章、评论和观点文章。《生物学快报》的范围很广--出版生物科学任何领域的高质量研究。然而，我们在整个生物体的生物学、进化和生态学方面具有特殊的优势。我们还在生物学的其他领域发表文章，如分子生态学和进化、环境科学和种系发生学。
