Résumé / Abstract : Journal of Avian Biology (JAB) is an international, society-owned journal for scientists engaged in all aspects of avian biology. The primary goal of the journal is to publish high-quality papers relevant to the central theme of avian biology and to foster communication among researchers in many disciplines with a common interest in the biology of birds. JAB is an outlet for bird-related research from all parts of the globe. It focuses on work that is of general interest: for example, because the findings advance a specific field, or because they are intrinsically of wide interest to the global community of scientists working with birds. Research published in JAB can be theoretical or empirical, and there is an emphasis on studies that test hypotheses in ecology, evolution and behaviour. The journal does not publish purely descriptive papers unless they contain important information that results in novel questions and/or opens up new areas for investigation. Research areas include but are not limited to: ageing, behaviour, biogeography, communication, conservation, diseases, distribution, ecology, evolution, genetics, growth, immunology, migration, morphology, parasitology, physiology, population studies, speciation and reproduction.
