Dear Colleagues,
We are pleased to announce that Section “Animal Diversity” is now compiling a collection of papers submitted by researchers from all around the world. Papers concerning wild animal diversity, from evolution to phylogeny, adaptation, and conservation, are all welcome.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish the most exceptional, insightful, influential, and original research articles or reviews in this field. We expect these papers will be widely read and highly influential within the field. All the papers in this Special Issue will be collated into a printed book after the deadline.
We are looking forward to reading your hot topics.
