Journal of Theoretical Biology

About the journal

The Journal of Theoretical Biology is the leading forum for theoretical papers that give insight into biological processes. It covers a very wide range of topics and is of interest to biologists in many areas of research. Many of the papers make use of mathematics, and an effort is made to make the papers intelligible to biologists as a whole. Experimental material bearing on theory is acceptable. Comment on theoretical issues or on papers published in the journal is welcomed in the form of Letters to the Editors. Research areas include:

• Cell Biology and Development
• Developmental Biology
• Ecology
• Evolution
• Immunology
• Infectious Diseases
• Mathematical Modeling, Statistics, and Data Bases
• Medical Sciences and Plant Pathology
• Microbiology, Molecular Biology, and Biochemistry
• Physiology
