From the Editor:

With the advent of a wide range of diagnostic tools and the recently undreamed of research avenues now available to morphologists, we are experiencing a world-wide explosion of interest and activity in the field of morphological science. Indeed, we firmly believe we have once again entered into a GOLDEN AGE OF MORPHOLOGY!

This explosion of activity extends across the entire range of zoology. Invertebrate morphology partners equally with vertebrate morphology in this golden time, and the Journal of Morphology is excited to be a part of this. As members of this worldwide community of morphologists, you can be assured that, following the dictum "Present the Science," we will help you to present your most important, most lasting work in depth and in detail in the Journal of Morphology .

Aims and Scope:

The Journal of Morphology welcomes articles of original research in cytology, protozoology, embryology, and general morphology. Articles generally should not exceed thirty-two printed pages. Preliminary notices or articles of a purely taxonomic or ecological nature are not included. No paper which has already appeared will be accepted nor will simultaneous publications elsewhere be allowed.
