Journal of the Marine Biological Association UK (JMBA) is an international peer reviewed journal, publishing original research and reviews on all aspects of marine biology, to support the aims of the MBA. First published in 1887, the topics of present interest for JMBA are: Marine ecology, behaviour and fisheries; Biodiversity and population studies of marine ecosystems, especially potential impacts of global warming, ocean acidification and climate change on ecosystem resilience; Physiology, biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology of marine organisms, including microbiology, particularly related to the integrative ecophysiology of marine organisms; Taxonomic syntheses, including molecular phylogenies; Morphology, life history and developmental biology of marine organisms, especially model systems; Chemical and physical oceanography, as directly relevant to marine biology; Marine environmental health, and in particular its relationship to human health and well-being. In addition to papers describing original research, the journal will also publish records of novel or alien species in new marine ecosystems, short reviews, and original viewpoints on topics of current marine biological interest.
JMBA is published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Marine Biological Association. MBA members can access a steeply discounted subscriptions to JMBA; for more information on this and other membership benefits please visit the MBA website.
