Official Journal of the European Society of Pathology 'Virchows Archiv' is a medium for the publication of fundamental morphological research on disease in the widest sense and on human pathology in particular. Articles concerned with surgical pathology, experimental morphology, ultrastructural research, immunocytochemical analysis, and molecular biology are published, provided they illuminate some facet of human pathology. Consideration will be given to reports of work in other fields relevant to the understanding of human pathology. Papers on the application of new methods and techniques in pathology are also published

Aims and Scope Zoologica Scriptapublishes empirical. theoretical. and methodological papers. review articles and debate comments and replies dealing with zoological diversity. taxonomy and systematics in a phylogenetic context. Purely taxonomic papers (like species descriptions without putting these in a wider systematic context) will not be considered. and preference will be given to studies addresssing phylogeny. biogeography. and palaeontology using morphological. molecular and bioinformatic methods. Phylogeographic studies must have clear systematic/taxonomic conclusions to be considered.

mSphere® is a multidisciplinary open-access journal that publishes high-quality work that makes fundamental contributions to any of the immense range of fields within the microbial sciences. The mSphere Board of Editors is committed to providing authors with streamlined decisions while carrying on ASM's tradition for rigorous peer review.
