The journal publishes articles in all fields of tropical biology and conservation, and is directed to a scientific and technical public. Selection criteria for manuscripts are the amount of new information, quality, and interest to a general readership. Studies with a strong experimental design, prolonged field work and taxonomic-systematic studies of whole groups are typical of the papers that are accepted. We do not publish: studies that only add details or cases to previously known phenomena, preliminary studies, communications, species lists, notes or other short articles, or highly specialized reports of limited interest. We welcome unsolicited review articles that critically review the achievements, controversial aspects and main goals for future research of some particular field of tropical biology and conservation.

該雜志出版熱帶生物學(xué)和保護(hù)的所有領(lǐng)域的文章，并直接面向科學(xué)和技術(shù)公眾。手稿的選擇標(biāo)準(zhǔn)是新信息的數(shù)量、質(zhì)量和普通讀者的興趣。具有較強(qiáng)的實(shí)驗(yàn)設(shè)計(jì)、較長(zhǎng)時(shí)間的實(shí)地工作和對(duì)整個(gè)群體的分類(lèi)系統(tǒng)研究是被接受的論文的典型特征。我們不發(fā)表:只在先前已知的現(xiàn)象、初步研究、通訊、物種列表、筆記或其他短文中添加細(xì)節(jié)或案例的研究，或有限興趣的高度專(zhuān)門(mén)化的報(bào)告。我們歡迎不請(qǐng)自來(lái)的評(píng)論文章，這些文章對(duì)熱帶生物學(xué)和保護(hù)某些特定領(lǐng)域的成就、有爭(zhēng)議的方面和未來(lái)研究的主要目標(biāo)進(jìn)行了批判性的評(píng)論。
