A new open-access journal Animal Migration offers an outlet for research on albatrosses and petrels

The first volume of a new open-access journal entitled Animal Migration has been published.

"Animal Migration is an international journal that publishes cutting-edge research on the biology of migratory species.  It strives to present a forum where all aspects of migratory biology can be discussed, from genetics and physiology to ecosystem-level interactions between migrants and their environment and everything in between - and, of course, the orientation and navigation of migratory animals.  Authors from all over the globe are encouraged to submit articles to the journal, since migration is a world-wide phenomenon.

The journal ... aims to present high-impact, integrative research on migration biology.  The peer-review process is streamlined, and papers can be published rapidly when necessary.  Free language editing for individuals for whom English is not a first language will be provided by the publisher."
