Animal Conservation
Animal Conservation
provides a forum for rapid publication of novel, peer-reviewed research into the conservation of animal species and their habitats.
A central theme is to publish quantitative studies detailing important new ideas and findings that have general implications for the scientific basis of conservation.
Covering a wide range of subjects including biodiversity, population biology, epidemiology, evolutionary ecology, population genetics, biogeography, palaeobiology and conservation economics, Animal Conservation is essential reading for conservation biologists, policy-makers and students.
Excerpts from the 6th World Conference on Herpetology
This special issue of Animal Conservation comprises a selection of papers representing the main themes from the symposia of the World Congress of Herpetology: Invasive reptiles and amphibians, the role of disease and conservation genetics in herpetology. Papers included in the special issue are free online.
Feature Papers, Commentaries and Virtual Issues
Available via the Animal Conservation website.

International Zoo Yearbook
The International Zoo Yearbook
is an international forum for the exchange of information on the role of zoos in the conservation of biodiversity, species and habitats.
Investigative and data-collection work into the biology and behaviour of wild animals is increasingly dependent on co-ordinated effort and shared results between all institutions engaged in the study and preservation of wildlife.
The need to understand the biology of wildlife is becoming ever more urgent. The IUCN has indicated that between 10 and 30% of animal species are threatened with extinction and suggested that living collections are and should be in the forefront of conserving them. A key requirement for successful species conservation is conservation-related scientific research. Opportunities to carry out research in zoos and aquariums are expanding rapidly but they are not as widely known nor as widely used as the urgency and size of the conservation challenge demands. This issue of the International Zoo Yearbook has been designed to present examples and give encouragement in this respect by surveying the state of the art of conservation-related research as it applies to vertebrate and invertebrate animals currently held by, or that may in the future need to be kept in zoological collections and aquariums.

Conservation Science and Practice Book Series
Wiley-Blackwell and ZSL are pleased to present the Conservation Science and Practice book series. Each title reviews a key issue in conservation today.
The series includes books that address the multidisciplinary aspects of conservation, looking at how biological scientists and ecologists are interacting with social scientists to effect long-term sustainable conservation measures.
Books in the series are based on symposia held at ZSL or other topics which meet these aims.

Nomenclator Zoologicus
Nomenclator Zoologicus is a continuous record of the bibliographical origins of the names of every genus and subgenus in zoology published since the 10th ed. of Linnaeus' Systema Naturae in 1758 up to 1994 in ten volumes (Volume 10 is an electronic-only volume and is not available for browsing).
Names are listed alphabetically, with a bibliographic reference to the original description of each one and an indication of the animal group to which it belongs.
In 2003, uBio received permission from the Zoological Society of London to undertake the digital conversion of Volumes 1-9 of Nomenclator Zoologicus.
The digitized version was developed with the permission of the Zoological Society of London at the MBLWHOI Library by uBio with the support and cooperation of Thomson Reuters , GBIF , and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation .
Symposia of the Zoological Society of London
The Symposia series was published from 1960 to 1999 and included invited contributions to international meetings held by the Zoological Society to explore a wide variety of zoological topics.
Titles in the series include

Edited by H.O. Box and K.R. Gibson
Behaviour and Ecology of Riparian Mammals
Edited by N. Dunstone and M. Gorman
