SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL

The goal of Herpetology Notes is to offer a global forum for fast and straightforward publication of natural history observations that otherwise may remain unpublished or in the grey literature. Herpetology Notes aims to publish all kinds of descriptive papers on the natural history and distribution of amphibians and reptiles. Being an online-only journal, papers that include taxonomic decisions (such a descriptions of new species) are not accepted. Descriptive papers on the morphology or genetic variability (DNA barcoding), marker development (e. g. microsatellite loci) are also appreciated, but some of these may also be suitable as short notes in Amphibia-Reptilia.
