Paleobiology

期刊简介：Paleobiology publishes original contributions of any length (but normally 10-50 manuscript pages) dealing with any aspect of biological paleontology. Emphasis is placed on biological or paleobiological processes and patterns, including macroevolution, extinction, diversification, speciation, functional morphology, bio-geography, phylogeny, paleoecology, molecular paleontology, taphonomy, natural selection and patterns of variation, abundance, and distribution in space and time, among others. Taxonomic papers are welcome if they have significant and broad applications. Papers concerning research on recent organisms and systems are appropriate if they are of particular interest to paleontologists. Papers should typically interest readers from more than one specialty. Proposals for symposium volumes should be discussed in advance with the editors.

【译文】《古生物学》期刊发表关于生物古生物学任何方面的原创贡献（但通常为10-50页的手稿），强调生物或古生物学过程和模式，包括宏观进化、灭绝、多样化、物种形成、功能形态学、生物地理学、系统发育、古生态学、分子古生物学、沉积学、自然选择以及时空中的变异、丰富度和分布模式等。欢迎具有重大和广泛应用的分类学论文。如果对古生物学家特别有吸引力，关于近期生物和系统的研究论文也是合适的。论文通常应该吸引来自多个专业的读者。关于专题论文集的提案应事先与编辑讨论。
