Sociobiology

Sociobiology publishes reviews and original research articles on systematics, biology, ecology, genetics, evolution, bevahior and management of social insects. Short notes are published as well, but we are more interested in manuscripts that address biology, ecology, sociality, behavior (any experimental component is welcome) rather than simplistic notes, for instance, description of new records of species occurrence.

Authors guidelines were revised and updated

  

Sociobiology has just revised and updated guidelines for authors. This action was taken in order to generate mutual benefits for authors and the editorial board. On one hand, the updated formatting of manuscripts does not bring extensive changes, but a few ones necessary to speed up copyeditting and typesetting by the editorial team. On the other hand, a series of recommendations to authors will allow a better preparation of the main text and figures with a better final resolution. 

We believe that these changes are a step forward in improving Sociobiology publication standards, and thus the reputation of the journal.
