This editorial accompanies the launch of BMC Zoology, a new open access, peer-reviewed journal within the BMC series that considers manuscripts on all aspects of zoology. BMC Zoology will increase and disseminate zoological knowledge through the publication of original research, methodology, database, software and debate articles. With the launch of BMC Zoology, the BMC series closes a gap in its portfolio of subject-specific research journals and is now able to cover all aspects of animal research together with BMC Ecology, BMC Evolutionary Biology and BMC Veterinary Research.

BMC动物学– BMC系列中所有动物学研究的家

这篇社论伴随BMC Zoology的发布，BMC Zoology是BMC系列中的一种新的开放访问，经过同行评审的期刊，该期刊考虑了动物学各个方面的手稿。BMC动物学将通过发表原始研究成果，方法论，数据库，软件和辩论文章来增加和传播动物学知识。随着BMC Zoology的推出，BMC系列填补了其特定主题研究期刊的空白，现在能够与BMC生态学，BMC进化生物学和BMC兽医学一起涵盖动物研究的各个方面。
