Focus and Scope
Acta Biológica Colombiana publishes original scientific research articles that provide a significant advance in the field of natural sciences, specifically in the areas of biological sciences, conservation, and biodiversity. The journal is interested in high-quality, comprehensive research in a broad thematic coverage in all areas of biology including: anatomy, botany and plant science, cell biology and microbiology, biochemistry and molecular biology, genetics and heredity, developmental biology , zoology, ornithology, entomology, behavioral life sciences, marine and water biology, ecology, biodiversity conservation, theoretical and evolutionary biology.
The journal considers articles in all fields of theoretical biology as applied biology. Integrating different biological scales, from molecules and cells to populations, ecosystems, and landscape. No works are published that only add details or cases of previously known phenomena, species lists, new species records without detailed analyses, preliminary studies or reports of highly specialized limited interest.
The journal encourages the presentation of interdisciplinary studies that address biological issues, through the publication of results of general interest through manuscripts in the form of review articles, articles of reflection, research articles and brief notes. The main objective of the journal is to promote communication between the different fields of biology, with a special interest in related works or carried out in the neotropical region.
