Call for Papers: Extreme Zoology – African Zoology Special Issue

How do animals defy limits, conquer the harshest environments, and rewrite the rules of survival? From thriving in extremes to engineering ecosystems and hacking host behavior, Extreme Zoology is where biology gets pushed to the edge.

Extreme zoology explores how animals push biological limits to survive in a rapidly changing world. From thriving in extreme environments to engineering habitats and altering host behaviour, species continuously reshape ecosystems in new ways.

Following the 2023 Zoological Society of Southern Africa conference theme of "Extreme Zoology," an invitation is being issued for specialized contributions on topics related to extreme environments, unusual physiologies, dynamic ecological characteristics and unique approaches to unknown systems.

In keeping with the conference theme, a special issue of African Zoology will be published focusing on "Extreme Zoology" with topics ranging from big data in zoology to conservation, urban ecology, and ecosystem resilience.

The special issue will be published in 2025 with Abstracts to be submitted by 1 April 2025. The special issue editors will then review the abstracts and invite a selection of papers to be submitted. Abstracts can be emailed to the Guest Editors: CodronD@ufs.ac.za or NetherlandsEC@ufs.ac.za.
