林尼安學(xué)會(huì)的動(dòng)物學(xué)雜志發(fā)表關(guān)于系統(tǒng)和進(jìn)化動(dòng)物學(xué)以及與這些領(lǐng)域相關(guān)的比較、功能和其他研究的論文。包括對(duì)滅絕動(dòng)物和現(xiàn)存動(dòng)物的研究。并發(fā)表評(píng)論;這些可以由編輯委員會(huì)邀請(qǐng)，但也可以考慮不請(qǐng)自來的評(píng)論。動(dòng)物學(xué)雜志在動(dòng)物學(xué)家中也有廣泛的發(fā)行量，雖然不排除一些專業(yè)論文，但潛在的作者應(yīng)該牢記這一點(diǎn)。

The Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society publishes papers on systematic and evolutionary zoology and comparative, functional and other studies where relevant to these areas. Studies of extinct as well as living animals are included. Reviews are also published; these may be invited by the Editorial Board, but uninvited reviews may also be considered. The Zoological Journal also has a wide circulation amongst zoologists and although narrowly specialized papers are not excluded, potential authors should bear that readership in mind.
