Zoologischer Anzeiger - A Journal of Comparative Zoology is devoted to comparative zoology with a special emphasis on morphology, systematics, biogeography, and evolutionary biology targeting all metazoans, both modern and extinct. We also consider taxonomic submissions addressing a broader systematic and/or evolutionary context. The overall aim of the journal is to contribute to our understanding of the organismic world from an evolutionary perspective. The journal Zoologischer Anzeiger invites suggestions for special issues. Interested parties may contact one of the editors. AUDIENCE .

AUTHOR INFORMATION PACK 30 Sep 2021 www.elsevier.com/locate/jcz 3 GUIDE FOR AUTHORS . Papers submitted for publication in ZOOLOGISCHER ANZEIGER should deal with metazoan taxa (at all possible systematic levels) and should include comparative aspects. Purely taxonomic papers (like species descriptions without a broader systematic or evolutionary context) are not considered for publication. Papers may be submitted as original scientific articles, reviews, short communications or opinions. All manuscripts will be peer reviewed. The corresponding Subject Editor (for details see Editorial Board information) is responsible for handling the manuscript throughout the review process and for final acceptance of a paper for publication. Manuscripts not conforming to the following guidelines will be returned without further consideration. All manuscripts must be written in English, double spaced, font: Times 12pt, with a surrounding margin of 2,5 cm and should preferably not exceed 20 printed pages (approx. 60 manuscript pages). Short communications and Opinions should not exceed 1 printed page (incl. illustrations). Submit the text (incl. figure captions) as one fi le. Tables, figures and illustrations have to be uploaded separately as single fi les. Manuscript texts should be organized as follows: Title, Author(s), Address(es), Abstract, Key words, Text, Acknowledgements, References, Appendix, Figure captions. For Short communications and Opinions please use the following order: Title, Author Name(s), Abstract, Text, Acknowledgements, References, Address(es), Figure captions. Submission checklist You can use this list to carry out a final check of your submission before you send it to the journal for review.
