International Journal of Ethology

Aims and Scope

Exploring the Science of Animal Behavior:

International Journal of Ethology (IJE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal dedicated to advancing the study of animal behavior. The journal covers observational, experimental, and theoretical research, emphasizing the functional and evolutionary significance of behavior across species.
 

Scope & Focus:

International Journal of Ethology welcomes research that enhances our understanding of the mechanisms, evolution, and ecological consequences of animal behavior. Key areas include:

• Evolution & Development of Behavior: Investigating how behaviors emerge and evolve over time.
• Animal Communication & Signaling: Understanding how animals interact through vocal, visual, and chemical cues.
• Behavioral Ecology & Adaptation: Exploring how animals adjust behaviors to survive and reproduce in different environments.
• Social Behavior & Organization: Examining group dynamics, cooperation, and social structures.
• Mating Systems & Reproductive Strategies: Studying courtship, mate selection, and reproductive success.
• Foraging & Predatory Behavior: Investigating how animals find food and evade predators.
• Animal Cognition & Learning: Exploring problem-solving, memory, and decision-making in animals.
• Artifical Intelligence: Research on the application of machine learning in animal behavior analysis, behavioral ecology, and the study of ethological patterns
• Animal Welfare & Ethics: Addressing the implications of behavior research for animal well-being.
• Methodological & Technical Advances: Showcasing new tools and techniques in behavioral research.
• Behavioral Neuroscience & Endocrinology: Linking brain activity and hormones to behavior.
• Ethology & Conservation Biology: Understanding the role of behavior in species conservation.
• Comparative Psychology & Etho-Ecology: Investigating behavior across species in different ecological contexts.
