About the Journal

Invertebrate Systematics is an international journal publishing original and significant contributions on the systematics, phylogeny and biogeography of all invertebrate taxa. Articles in the journal provide comprehensive phylogenetic treatments of clearly defined taxonomic groups, often emphasising their biodiversity patterns and/or biological aspects. The journal also includes contributions to the systematics of selected taxa that are of particular conservation, economic, medical or veterinary importance. The journal discourages single-species descriptions without a broad taxonomic treatment. For molecular phylogenetic analyses, the journal favours articles that contribute extensive novel molecular data from multiple markers and discourages analyses with incremental data from pre-existing data sets.

The journal has been publishing peer-reviewed research since 1987, originally under the name Invertebrate Taxonomy, changing to Invertebrate Systematics in 2002.

Publishing Model: Hybrid. Open Access options available.

Invertebrate Systematics is a vital resource globally for scientists, students, conservation biologists, environmental consultants and government policy advisors who are interested in terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems.
