MARINE BIOLOGY

Marine Biology publishes original and internationally significant contributions from all fields of marine biology. Special emphasis is given to articles which promote the understanding of life in the sea, organism-environment interactions, interactions between organisms, and the functioning of the marine biosphere. While original research articles are the backbone of Marine Biology, method articles, reviews and comments are also welcome, provided that they meet the same originality, importance and quality criteria as research articles. Articles of exceptional significance are published as highlight articles. They are accompanied by an editorial comment, and they are promoted in social media.Aspects of particular interest include:marine biogeochemistryecology of marine populations and communitiesmarine ecophysiologybehavioural biology of marine organismsdevelopment and life cycles of marine organismsbiochemistry and physiology of marine organismsevolution of marine organismspopulation genetics of marine organismsmarine conservationtechnology developments in marine biologyIrrespective of the area, preference will be given to articles contributing to the advancement of growing research areas and/or the solution of present day theoretical debates.Acknowledgement of ReviewersReviewers contribute significantly to the quality of a publication. Therefore Marine Biology offers the acknowledgement of reviewers on published articles. If reviewers agree to disclose their identity, their names will appear on the first page of the published article, below the name of the handling editor. However, they will remain anonymous throughout the entire reviewing period, regardless of whether or not they prefer to disclose their identity.

海洋生物学出版来自海洋生物学所有领域的原创和国际上重要的贡献。特别强调的是促进对海洋生命、组织-环境相互作用、有机体之间的相互作用和海洋生物圈功能的了解的文章。虽然原创性研究论文是海洋生物学的支柱，但只要原创性、重要性和质量标准与研究论文相同，方法论文、综述和评论也受欢迎。具有特殊意义的文章作为重点文章发表。它们还附有编辑评论，并在社交媒体上得到推广。特别感兴趣的方面包括:海洋生物地球化学海洋种群和群落生态学海洋生态生理学海洋生物行为生物学海洋生物的发育和生命周期海洋生物的生物化学和生理学海洋生物进化海洋生物种群遗传学海洋保护海洋生物学的技术发展不论在哪个领域，对有助于促进不断增长的研究领域和(或)解决目前理论辩论的文章将给予优先考虑。确认的评论家审稿人对出版物的质量有很大的贡献。因此，海洋生物学为已发表的文章提供了审稿人的认可。如果审稿人同意公开他们的身份，他们的名字将出现在发表文章的第一页，在处理编辑的名字下面。然而，在整个审查期间，他们将保持匿名，不管他们是否愿意透露自己的身份。
