JOURNAL OF SYSTEMATIC PALAEONTOLOGY
Cambridge University Press is delighted to announce the launch of a new
journal, the Journal of Systematic Palaeontology in
2003. As a direct successor to the Bulletin of The Natural
History Museum, London: Geology Series, Journal of Systematic
Palaeontology will publish major papers describing new or poorly
understood faunas and floras, or which use systematics in ways that
significantly advance our understanding of palaeogeography,
palaeobiology, functional morphology, palaeoecology, biostratigraphy or
phylogenetic relationships.
Shorter contributions on technical or conceptual issues relating to
systematic methodology and conservation issues are also welcome. In this
way the journal aims to demonstrate and strengthen the fundamental
contribution systematics and collection-based data make to evolutionary
palaeontology.
CALL FOR PAPERS
Journal of Systematic Palaeontology welcomes papers which make a
substantial and lasting contribution to systematics through the
description of new faunas and floras or the revision of existing ones, or
which use rigorous phylogenetic approaches to address questions of
evolutionary relationship.
Offers of papers should be sent to the editor-in-chief, Dr Andrew B.
Smith, Department of Palaeontology, The Natural History Museum, Cromwell
Road, London SW7 5DB, UK
Email: a.smith@nhm.ac.uk
Instructions for contributors are available from the editor-in-chief on
request.
