The Journal of Ethology features reviews and original papers relating to all aspects of animal behavior, including traditional ethology. The journal presents papers on field, laboratory, and theoretical studies. In contrast to ethological journals that prefer studies testing explicit hypotheses, the Journal of Ethology publishes both in observational studies and in experimental studies.This is the official journal of the Japan Ethological Society, which was founded in 1982. This publication was supported by JSPS KAKENHI Grant Number 18HP2005.

動物行為學(xué)雜志的特點(diǎn)是評論和原始論文涉及動物行為的所有方面，包括傳統(tǒng)的動物行為學(xué)。該雜志發(fā)表了關(guān)于野外、實(shí)驗(yàn)室和理論研究的論文。與那些傾向于研究明確假設(shè)的動物行為學(xué)雜志相反，動物行為學(xué)雜志既在觀察性研究中發(fā)表，也在實(shí)驗(yàn)研究中發(fā)表。這是日本動物學(xué)會的官方期刊，成立于1982年。本出版物由jsp KAKENHI Grant Number 18HP2005支持。
