Ardeola Information

Ardeola is the official scientific journal of the Spanish Society of Ornithology (SEO/Birdlife), and it has been published since the Society's foundation in 1954. Ardeola has expanded his scope recently to provide a renewed forum for publication of studies on all aspects of ornithology, carried out both in Spain and elsewhere. Papers dealing with ornithology in the areas of Mediterranean climate and in the Neotropics, as well as with the conservation of birds and their habitats, are especially acknowledged. Ardeola is issued twice at a year (June and December, one volume per year). The main body of the journal is composed by original articles and short notes. Accepted languages are Spanish and English, although the editorial staff encourages the use of English to prospective authors. The editorial staff will promote rapid publication of peer-reviewed manuscripts. Ardeola also publishes the official list of Spanish Rarities and the Checklist of Spanish names of the birds of the world, as well as reviews of most of the books received in the library of SEO/BirdLife and Spanish summaries of the papers dealing with ornithology in areas of Mediterranean climate which are published in other scientific journals.
