![]() ![]() New species descriptions can also be submitted to the Biodiversity Data Journal or some other Pensoft journals. Stand-alone single species descriptions in poorly studied or hyperdiverse groups should be avoided, unless they are placed into the context of a review or revision, or the study provides rich data on their biology, ecology, hosts/parasite species, life cycle and immature stages descriptions and others. ![]() Additional criteria for considering stand-alone single species descriptions will be that the species exhibits unusual characters that can change the concept of the higher taxon to which it belongs the material is rich, providing information on the biogeography, phylogeny, biology or ecology of the species, and there is little chance that other material from this region can be brought together within the foreseeable future the higher taxon to which it belongs has not been reported from the (larger) geographic area where it occurs species collected in areas of high conservation importance (Galapagos, for example) the new species is economically or medically important, being proven to be a pest, invasive species, transmitter of diseases, or otherwise. Stand-alone single species descriptions will be considered in well-studied taxa, fossils or if they represent monotypic (monophyletic) groups. ![]() The subject editor will take a decision on forwarding such manuscripts for peer review on the basis of the criteria listed below combined with community-accepted best standards and practices used in the particular taxonomic group. Please consider the Criteria for new species descriptions in the Taxonomic Treatments section of the Author Guidelines before submission of your manuscript. New species descriptions, be they single or multiple per manuscript, will be considered for peer review and publication preferably as part of a revision or review of a taxon. ISBN numbers will be assigned to large monographic papers (i.e., major revisions of taxa, collections of papers, Festschrift volumes, atlases, checklists, conspecti).
