Zoological Synthesis (ZS, E-ISSN: 3122-7112) is an international, open-access journal dedicated to advancing integrative research in zoology and its interdisciplinary frontiers. The journal publishes high-quality original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and innovative perspectives that deepen our understanding of animal biology, evolutionary processes, and ecosystem interactions.

The scope includes, but not limited to:

1. Evolutionary & Comparative Zoology
Speciation, phylogenetics, and adaptive radiation
Functional morphology, physiology, and biomechanics
Behavioral ecology and evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo)

2. Biodiversity & Conservation Zoology
Species discovery, taxonomy, and biogeography
Endangered species management and habitat conservation
Impacts of anthropogenic change on animal populations

3. Ecological Interactions & Ecosystem Roles
Predator-prey dynamics, symbiosis, and trophic networks
Animal-mediated ecosystem services (e.g., pollination, seed dispersal)
Wildlife responses to climate change and habitat fragmentation

4. Zoological Medicine & Wildlife Health
Wildlife disease ecology and emerging zoonoses
Conservation medicine and endangered species rehabilitation
Comparative immunology and vaccinology for wild animals
One Health approaches linking animal, human, and ecosystem health

5. Human-Wildlife Coexistence
Urban wildlife ecology and conflict mitigation
Zoo biology, captive breeding, and reintroduction programs
Ethnobiology and traditional ecological knowledge

6. Innovative Methodologies in Zoology
Advances in tracking, bioacoustics, and remote sensing
Genomic tools (e.g., eDNA, CRISPR) for wildlife studies
AI and machine learning applications in animal behavior analysis

ZS encourages cross-disciplinary research bridging zoology with ecology, genetics, conservation science, and bioengineering. The journal prioritizes studies that offer novel insights into animal diversity, adaptive mechanisms, and scalable solutions for biodiversity preservation in a rapidly changing world.

Open Access: This journal operates under a "gold" Open Access model, providing free access to all readers. The Article Processing Charges (APC) for all article types (research, review, case reports) is $0, and the content will be published under a CC BY 4.0. To encourage submissions and support the research community, ZS currently levies no APC (0 APC). For specific APC policies, please refer to the Open Access section.

Processing Cycle: The manuscript processing cycle is approximately 12 weeks from submission to acceptance.

Recognition of Reviewers: reviewers who provide timely, thorough peer-review reports receive vouchers entitling them to a discount on the APC of their next publication in ZS, in appreciation of the work done.
