We seek reviewers with demonstrated expertise in zoology, ecology, behavior, taxonomy, conservation, or related animal science fields. Suitable candidates typically hold doctoral degrees and have active research programs with recent publications.

• PhD or equivalent in relevant zoological field
• Publication record in animal biology or related areas
• Taxonomic expertise in specific animal groups (specify in application)
• Commitment to timely, constructive review
• Ability to maintain confidentiality

Submit your CV with keywords describing taxonomic expertise and research interests. Include ORCID if available. Specify animal groups and ecological systems within your competence. Our editorial team reviews qualifications and adds you to relevant topic categories. Active reviewers receive priority invitations and may be nominated for editorial board positions.

Registered reviewers receive invitations based on keyword matching with submitted manuscripts. You are never obligated to accept and should decline when conflicts exist. Prompt responses help editors maintain efficient timelines for zoological manuscript processing.

Reviewers may update keyword profiles reflecting evolving research interests and taxonomic expertise. Specify animal groups, geographic regions, and methodological approaches within your competence. Notify editorial office to suspend invitations during sabbaticals or heavy teaching periods. Accurate profiles enable better manuscript-reviewer matching.

Registered reviewers gain early exposure to emerging research across animal groups, receive recognition through annual certificates, qualify for publication discounts, and may be considered for editorial board positions based on review quality and consistency in evaluating zoological manuscripts.
