The concepts of Ecology, Zoology, Fishery, Habitat and Predation are tackled in African Zoology. Most of the works presented in the journal deals with Ecology but it intersects with the subject of Cape. The concepts on Zoology presented in it can also apply to other research fields, including Anatomy and Reproduction.
The main emphasis of the journal is the subject of Fishery, focusing on Estuary.
The most cited publications aim to foster the development of research in Ecology, Fishery, Zoology, Predation and Estuary. The journal publications dive deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Ecology and Cape. The featured Fishery studies in the most cited publications mainly concentrate on Introduced species but also cover areas of interest in Aquatic animal.
African Zoology covers a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Zoology, Habitat, Climate change and Wildlife. Ecology studies presented in African Zoology focus on topics such as Abundance (ecology), Hymenoptera, ANT, Biodiversity and Pheidole. The close relationship between Species richness and Mussel, Intertidal zone, Perna perna and Estuary is one of the points of interest dissected in Abundance (ecology) research.
Zoology research featured in African Zoology incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Nocturnal and Predation. The journal explores issues in Habitat which can be linked to other research areas like Wetland and Abiotic component. The work on Wildlife tackled in the journal brings together disciplines like Environmental niche modelling, Agroforestry, Protected area and Ecosystem.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in African Zoology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in African Zoology (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 0.00% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 33.33% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 8.33% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 33.33% of all publications and 25.00% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2021)For those interested in Ecology and Evolution, exploring related online degrees can expand career opportunities in scientific research, environmental health, and natural resource management. Programs such as an online ultrasound tech school provide specialized training in medical imaging, which complements biological knowledge and opens doors in healthcare sectors including ecological health studies.
Additionally, an online ASN program equips students with essential nursing skills applicable in environmental health roles that focus on public health and disease prevention linked to ecological changes.
For advanced career growth, a doctorate in healthcare administration programs offers leadership training to manage healthcare systems prioritizing environmental sustainability and community well-being.
Finally, a specialized 1 year PMHNP program prepares students to become psychiatric mental health nurse practitioners, a field increasingly important as ecological factors affect mental health trends globally. These diverse pathways illustrate how interdisciplinary skills enhance careers linked to Ecology and Evolution.
