MAMMALIA
Scope & Guideline
Exploring the depths of mammalian biology.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Mammalian Ecology and Behavior:
Research exploring the ecological roles, behavior, and conservation status of mammalian species across diverse habitats, including urban, rural, and protected areas. - Taxonomy and Systematics:
Studies focusing on the classification, identification, and evolutionary relationships of mammals, often revealing new species or revising existing classifications based on morphological and genetic data. - Conservation Biology:
Investigations into the threats faced by mammalian species, including habitat loss, climate change, and human-wildlife conflict, alongside strategies for conservation and management. - Physiology and Morphology:
Research on the physiological adaptations of mammals to their environments, including studies on morphology, reproductive strategies, and health assessments. - Human-Wildlife Interactions:
Exploration of the interactions between humans and mammals, including impacts of urbanization, hunting, and agriculture on mammalian populations.
Trending and Emerging
- Impact of Climate Change:
An increasing number of studies are focusing on how climate change is affecting mammalian distributions, behaviors, and ecological interactions, highlighting the urgency of understanding these impacts. - Urban Ecology and Wildlife:
Research examining how mammals adapt to urban environments and the consequences of urbanization on their populations and behaviors is gaining traction. - Genetic and Molecular Studies:
There is a growing emphasis on genetic research, including population genetics and phylogenetic studies, which are providing new insights into mammalian diversity and conservation. - Invasive Species and Their Impact:
The journal is increasingly publishing studies that investigate the effects of invasive mammalian species on native ecosystems, reflecting a global concern for biodiversity preservation. - Citizen Science Contributions:
Papers utilizing data collected through citizen science initiatives are emerging, showcasing the value of public engagement in mammalian research and conservation efforts.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Habitat Studies:
Research that solely focuses on traditional habitat assessments without integrating modern techniques such as remote sensing or genetic studies appears to be less frequent. - Basic Descriptive Studies:
There seems to be a reduction in papers that provide basic descriptive accounts of species without exploring broader ecological or conservation implications. - Studies on Common Species:
Research focusing on common or widespread mammal species is becoming less frequent, possibly as researchers shift their attention to more endangered or less studied species.
