Papers on field, laboratory, or theoretical studies are welcomed. In contrast to many other ethological journals that prefer studies testing explicit hypotheses, the Journal of Ethology is interested both in purely descriptive studies with broad implications and in quantitative studies. Each descriptive paper should include background information and an appropriate context to establish the scientific importance of the description   Instructions to Authors Please prepare your manuscript following the detailed Instructions for Authors for this journal.
