Journal of Molluscan Studies

期刊简介：The Journal of Molluscan Studies accepts papers on all aspects of the study of molluscs. These include systematics, molecular genetics, palaeontology, ecology, evolution, and physiology. Where the topic is in a specialized field (e.g. parasitology, neurobiology, biochemistry, molecular biology), submissions will still be accepted as long as the mollusc is the principal focus of the study, and not incidental or simply a convenient experimental animal. Papers with a focus on fisheries biology, aquaculture, and control of molluscan pests will be accepted only if they include significant advances in molluscan biology. While systematic papers are encouraged, descriptions of single new taxa will only be considered if they include some ‘added value’, for example in the form of new information on anatomy or distribution, or if they are presented in the context of a systematic revision or phylogenetic analysis of the group.

【译文】《软体动物研究杂志》接受关于软体动物研究各个方面的论文。这包括系统学、分子遗传学、古生物学、生态学、进化和生理学。如果主题在某个专业领域（例如寄生虫学、神经生物学、生物化学、分子生物学），只要软体动物是研究的重点，而不是偶然的或仅仅是一个方便的实验动物，提交的论文仍然会被接受。只有当论文关注渔业生物学、水产养殖和软体动物害虫控制，并且包括对软体动物生物学的重要进展时，才会接受这些论文。虽然鼓励系统学研究论文，但只有当单个新类群的描述包含一些‘附加价值’，例如关于解剖学或分布的新信息，或者它们是在系统修订或该组的系统发育分析背景下提出时，才会考虑这些描述。
