WILDLIFE BIOLOGY (Wildl. Biol.) (ISSN 0909-6396) was initiated in 1994 by the Nordic Council for Wildlife Research (NKV) and is published four times a year (March, June, September and December). Wildlife Biology is sponsored by NKV, and the National Environmental Research Institute (NERI), Kalø, is responsible for the technical production.

The journal encourages and welcomes original papers, short communications and review articles, written in English and dealing with both theoretical, empirical and practical studies from throughout the world.

The journal accepts papers of high standard from all areas of wildlife sciences with the primary task of creating the scientific basis for the enhancement of conservation and management practices for wildlife species and their environments. Our concept of 'wildlife' mainly includes game species, but other studies on different species or phenomena relevant to wildlife management are also of great interest.

WILDLIFE BIOLOGY is a high-quality scientific forum directing concise and up-to-date information to scientists, administrators, game managers and conservationists.

All papers are reviewed by at least two referees with recognised competence within their field of research and by an Associate Editor appointed by the Editor-in-Chief to be responsible for editing the manuscript.

All articles appear with both the dates of receipt and final acceptance and with the name of the Associate Editor.

Submissions will be considered on condition that publication (in any language) is first offered to WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, and that the authors agree to automatically transfer the copyright to the publisher (©Copyright 2007, WILDLIFE BIOLOGY, the Editorial Office), if and when the manuscript is accepted for publication.

Supplements to the journal in the form of monographs etc. may be published, but all costs related to the production of supplements are to be paid by the orderer/author. The Editor-in-Chief should be contacted prior to submission of supplements. Supplements are treated in the same way as other submissions.
