Frontiers in Biology, an international peer-reviewed scientific journal, provides a forum for a broad range of peer-reviewed articles to promote rapid communication and exchanges among biologists around the world. The primary criterion for publication is new insights that are of broad interest to biologists, not just specialists, and the presentation of results must be appropriate to a wide audience of biologists.
