Tropical Animals

Tropical regions harbor some of the world’s richest and most fragile biodiversity. Tropical Animals, published by ETFLIN, explores this vibrant yet vulnerable world of animal life, from the canopy to the forest floor, from coral reefs to grasslands. This journal brings together researchers and practitioners dedicated to uncovering the biology, behavior, and conservation challenges of tropical fauna. As a newly launched publication, it invites contributions that push the boundaries of our knowledge while remaining grounded in the real-world challenges of conservation and sustainable management.

Apart from regular article types (Research, Review, and Short Communication), Tropical Animals also accept Monitoring Note and Taxonomic Note.

Scope

We publish work on:

Tropical species discovery and taxonomy
Behavioral studies and ecological interactions
Conservation strategies and field reports
Emerging threats, from habitat loss to climate change
Wildlife health, zoonoses, and veterinary perspectives
Sustainable relationships between humans and tropical fauna

More than a journal, Tropical Animals is a call to action for understanding and preserving the living wealth of the tropics.
