中文简介

2000年，巴塞罗那自然科学博物馆(Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona)决定改变其前期刊《米赛尔》(Miscel)的名称。《拉尼亚动物学》自1958年出版以来，致力于动物的生物多样性和保护，并使其结构适应当前的趋势。通过这一修改，我们旨在填补西班牙期刊领域的空白，并为动物学家提供一个发表论文的国际论坛。该杂志的范围很广，包括对新物种的描述，以及强调保护生物学某些方面的系统学、形态学、生物地理学、生态学、动物行为学、生理学和遗传学的研究。该杂志发表原创研究论文，评论和讨论这些领域的问题。

英文简介

In 2000, the Natural Sciences Museum of Barcelona decided to change the title of its former journal Miscel.lània Zoològica –published since 1958- to Animal Biodiversity and Conservation and to adapt the structure to current trends. With this modification, we aimed to fill a gap in the range of Spanish journals and provide zoologists with an international forum to publish their papers. The scope of the journal is wide, encompassing descriptions of new species as well as studies on systematics, morphology, biogeography, ecology, ethology, physiology and genetics that emphasise some aspect of conservation biology. The journal publishes original research papers, reviews and discussion of issues within these fields.
