About Journal of Mammal Research
A peer-reviewed, open access journal advancing knowledge of mammalian biology, ecology, behavior, and conservation across terrestrial and marine ecosystems worldwide.
Journal of Mammal Research provides a trusted platform for ecologists, field biologists, conservation scientists, and wildlife managers to share discoveries that advance our understanding of mammalian diversity and ecology. Our commitment to methodological rigor, transparent peer review, and broad accessibility ensures your research reaches scholars, practitioners, and policymakers globally.
- Ecological Focus: Research on wild mammal populations, community dynamics, habitat use, and ecosystem interactions.
- Conservation Impact: Studies informing species recovery plans, protected area management, and biodiversity policy.
- Behavioral Insights: Investigations of foraging strategies, reproductive behavior, social structures, and communication.
- Population Ecology: Analyses of demography, genetics, movement patterns, and spatial distribution.
- Global Perspective: Studies from diverse biomes including forests, grasslands, deserts, mountains, and marine environments.
- Rapid Dissemination: Efficient editorial workflows ensure timely publication without compromising quality.
JMR welcomes original research, reviews, and short communications that expand knowledge of mammalian biology within ecological contexts. Our scope encompasses field-based studies, meta-analyses, conservation assessments, and methodological innovations that advance mammal science.
Demographic studies, population viability analysis, species interactions, predator-prey dynamics, competition, and community assembly.
Threat assessments, habitat fragmentation, protected area design, reintroduction programs, human-wildlife conflict, and endangered species recovery.
Foraging behavior, mating systems, parental care, territoriality, migration, social organization, and communication strategies.
Habitat selection, home range analysis, landscape connectivity, species distribution modeling, and niche characterization.
Molecular phylogenies, evolutionary ecology, adaptive radiation, speciation, and morphological evolution in ecological contexts.
Genetic diversity, gene flow, inbreeding, landscape genetics, and genomic tools for conservation management.
Mammalian roles in seed dispersal, nutrient cycling, herbivory, predation, and ecosystem engineering.
Responses to environmental change, range shifts, phenological adjustments, and vulnerability assessments.
Every submission undergoes rigorous evaluation by subject-matter experts who assess scientific merit, methodological soundness, ecological significance, and ethical compliance. Our peer review process is designed to be thorough yet efficient, providing constructive feedback that strengthens manuscripts regardless of outcome.
