STM publisher Springer, Germany, has announced a partnership with the Senckenberg Gesellschaft fuer Naturforschung to publish two scientific journals - Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments and Marine Biodiversity - starting March 2009.
A quarterly publication, Palaeobiodiversity and Palaeoenvironments is an international journal providing a multidisciplinary approach to the fields of palaeobiodiversity, palaeoenvironments and palaeobiogeography. Reporting on the causes and processes of changes in plant and animal life in earth's history, the journal publishes original research, review papers and short notes. Dr. Peter Königshof of the Senckenberg Research Institute and Natural History Museum in Frankfurt, Germany, is the editor.
Devoted to all aspects of biodiversity research in marine ecosystems, Marine Biodiversity presents original research papers, short notes and reviews. The scope of the journal covers research at gene, species and ecosystems levels, and the patterns and understanding of the processes responsible for the regulation and maintenance of diversity in marine systems. Dr. Pedro Martínez Arbizu of the Senckenberg Research Institute at the German Center for Marine Biodiversity Research in Wilhelmshaven is the editor.
The journals will be published in both electronic and print versions. They will receive maximum exposure through Springer's abstracting and indexing services and innovative product development initiatives.
