Subterranean Biology

Subterranean Biology is an international journal published by the International Society for Subterranean Biology [SIBIOS] for the dissemination of original and significant contributions on all aspects of subterranean life. Subterranean Biology is the continuation of the former Mémoires de Biospéologie, directed by Christian Juberthie, 09200 Moulis France. (ISSN 0398 - 7973). The Mémoires de Biospéologie was itself the continuation of the earlier Notes Biospéologiques (edited by R. Jeannel at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, then by the CNRS) and the Annales de Spéléologie (edited by the CNRS) and particularly a special series of Ann. Spéléol., supplem. published by the Laboratoire Souterrain du CNRS.

The Journal considers original scientific papers dealing with any aspect of subterranean ecosystems and their components, focusing on biology, ecology, evolution and conservation. The Journal welcomes review articles on aspects of subterranean biology. They should be submitted in the same way as research articles but use a simple layout with no more than three levels of headings. Commentaries on previous matter published in the Journal may be also considered. Both reviews and commentaries will be refereed. Reviews of books, symposium volumes and conferences pertinent to the Journal are also welcome. Submission of a manuscript to be considered for publication implies that the results reported have not been published elsewhere and are not being considered elsewhere for publication. The Journal assumes that manuscripts have been submitted with the consent of all authors. Submitted manuscripts may be accepted for publication after peer review but the authors are solely responsible for the accuracy of information in their papers and for any opinions expressed. Intending authors should obtain the most recent version of the Notice to Authors (Instructions to authors - guidelines) as the instructions are amended from time to time.
