Declining or Waning
- Classical Antiquity Focus:
Although the journal has published significant works on ancient texts and animal representations, there seems to be a waning emphasis on classical antiquity as a primary focus, shifting towards more contemporary and diverse contexts. - Narrow Taxonomic Studies:
There is a noticeable decrease in papers dedicated to the detailed taxonomic studies of specific animal species, suggesting a broader interest in interdisciplinary and thematic research rather than species-specific investigations. - Traditional Hunting Practices:
While hunting remains an important topic, the focus on traditional hunting practices and their ecological impacts appears to have diminished, possibly overshadowed by broader discussions of multispecies interactions and conservation.
