Acta Zoologica: Morphology and Evolution is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published since 1920 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. Originally it was entitled just Acta Zoologica and only changed its name in the early 21st Century. It is one of the world's leading zoological journals.[1] It focuses on animal development, structure and function, including physiological organization. It has primarily published zoological and physiological original research, but occasionally it has published review articles.
At the end of the 20th Century, Acta Zoologica became predominant in the field of animal structure from the cellular to the whole organism level, which caused the addition of its subtitle morphology and evolution in 2002. Increasingly, it has focused on animal development, with emphasis on the functional, comparative and phylogenetic aspects.[1] The editors in chief are Graham Budd and Lennart Olsson.[2]
