ICHNOS-AN INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR PLANT AND ANIMAL TRACES

The foremost aim of Ichnos is to promote excellence in ichnologic research. Primary emphases center upon the ethologic and ecologic significance of tracemaking organisms; organism-substrate interrelationships; and the role of biogenic processes in environmental reconstruction, sediment dynamics, sequence or event stratigraphy, biogeochemistry, and sedimentary diagenesis. Each contribution rests upon a firm taxonomic foundation, although papers dealing solely with systematics and nomenclature may have less priority than those dealing with conceptual and interpretive aspects of ichnology. Contributions from biologists and geologists are equally welcome.

Ichnos的首要目标是促进卓越的鱼类学研究。主要研究重点集中在示踪生物的生态学和生态学意义上;生物基质相互关系;以及生物过程在环境重建、沉积物动力学、层序或事件地层学、生物地球化学和沉积成岩作用中的作用。每一项贡献都建立在坚实的分类学基础之上，尽管只涉及分类学和命名法的论文可能没有涉及鱼类学概念和解释方面的论文那么重要。生物学家和地质学家的贡献同样受到欢迎。
