Malacologia is a leading malacological journal that publishes original research on the Mollusca that is of high quality and of broad international interest. Papers combining synthesis with innovation are particularly desired. While publishing symposia from time to time, Malacologia encourages submission of single manuscripts on diverse topics such as systematics, ecology, biogeography, parasitology, genetics, evolution, biodiversity modeling, physiology, invasion biology, aquaculture, and fisheries. Smaller papers may be accepted as “Research Notes”.
