Acta Zoologica is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by Wiley-Blackwell on behalf of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. It is one of the world's leading zoological journals[1] and focuses on animal development, structure, and function, including physiological organization. It primarily publishes original research papers, but occasionally also publishes review articles.
Increasingly, it has concentrated on animal development, with emphasis on the functional, comparative, and phylogenetic aspects.[1] The editor-in-chief is Lennart Olsson (University of Jena).
History
[edit]The journal was established in 1920 with Nils Holmgren serving as the first editor.[2]
In 1980, the journal absorbed Zoon : a journal of zoology which ran 1973–1979 and was a continuation of the publication Zoologiska Bidrag från Uppsala (1911-1972).[3][4]
