Journal Title：Zoologica Scripta

Zoologica Scripta publishes papers in animal systematics and phylogeny, i.e. studies of evolutionary relationships among taxa, and the origin and evolution of biological diversity. Papers can also deal with ecological interactions and geographic distributions (phylogeography) if the results are placed in a wider phylogenetic/systematic/evolutionary context. Zoologica Scripta encourages papers on the development of methods for all aspects of phylogenetic inference and biological nomenclature/classification.

Articles published in Zoologica Scripta must be original and present either theoretical or empirical studies of interest to a broad audience in systematics and phylogeny. Purely taxonomic papers, like species descriptions without being placed in a wider systematic/phylogenetic context, will not be considered.

Zoologica Scripta 在动物系统学和系统发育方面发表论文，即研究分类群之间的进化关系以及生物多样性的起源和进化。如果将结果置于更广泛的系统发育/系统/进化背景中，论文还可以处理生态相互作用和地理分布（系统地理学）。 Zoologica Scripta 鼓励发表关于系统发育推断和生物命名/分类各个方面的方法开发的论文。

在 Zoologica Scripta 上发表的文章必须是原创的，并且呈现出系统学和系统发育学领域广大读者感兴趣的理论或实证研究。不会考虑纯粹的分类学论文，例如没有置于更广泛的系统/系统发育背景下的物种描述。
