Zoology is a journal devoted to experimental and comparative animal science. It presents a common forum for all scientists who take an explicitly organism oriented and integrative approach to the study of animal form, function, development and evolution.The journal invites papers that take a comparative or experimental approach to behavior and neurobiology, functional morphology, evolution and development, ecological physiology, and cell biology. Due to the increasing realization that animals exist only within a partnership with symbionts, Zoology encourages submissions of papers focused on the analysis of holobionts or metaorganisms as associations of the macroscopic host in synergistic interdependence with numerous microbial and eukaryotic species.

動物學是一本致力于實驗和比較動物科學的雜志。它提供了一個共同的論壇，所有科學家采取明確的有機體為導向和綜合的方法來研究動物的形式，功能，發展和進化。該雜志邀請論文采取比較或實驗方法的行為和神經生物學，功能形態學，進化和發展，生態生理學和細胞生物學。由于越來越多的人認識到動物只存在于與共生體的伙伴關系中，動物學鼓勵提交論文，重點分析作為宏觀宿主的整體生物或元有機體與許多微生物和真核生物的協同相互依賴關系。
