The journal Zoomorphology publishes original research papers based on morphological investigation of invertebrates and vertebrates, reviews designed as comparative surveys summarizing current knowledge from an evolutionary perspective and method papers presenting new approaches or reviews on methods used in animal morphology. Coverage spans the macroscopic, microscopic and ultrastructural levels, including embryological studies.The journal places special emphasis on:Comparison - Studies comparing morphological and anatomical structures in an evolutionary contextFunction - Studies relating structure and functionIntegration - Studies on the relation between structural-functional systems of animals and their general biologyEvolution - Studies on the evolution of morphological and anatomical structures on the basis of sound phylogeniesDevelopment - Studies on the spatiotemporal formation of morphological and anatomical structures

《動物形態學》雜志發表了以無脊椎動物和脊椎動物的形態學研究為基礎的原始研究論文，綜述設計為從進化角度總結當前知識的比較調查，以及介紹動物形態學研究新方法或方法綜述的方法論文。覆蓋范圍包括宏觀、微觀和超微結構水平，包括胚胎學研究。該雜志特別強調:比較-在進化背景下比較形態學和解剖學結構的研究功能-有關結構和功能的研究整合-研究動物的結構-功能系統與其一般生物學之間的關系進化-以健全的系統發育為基礎的形態學和解剖學結構的進化研究發育-形態學和解剖學結構的時空形成的研究
