Tropical Life Sciences Research

Tropical Life Sciences Research is an academic journal focused on the life sciences in the tropics, providing a platform for researchers around the world to share and exchange research findings on tropical biology. The publication of the journal reflects the importance of the uniqueness and biodiversity of tropical ecosystems, while recognizing the important role of the tropics in global ecological and environmental change.

The interdisciplinary nature of the journal means that it welcomes research from different fields, including but not limited to biochemistry, microbiology, biotechnology, zoology, botany, environmental sciences, biomedicine and pharmacy. This broad subject coverage helps facilitate the integration of knowledge and the generation of innovative thinking between different fields. Research that addresses life science issues specific to the tropics, such as the control of tropical diseases, the genetic improvement of tropical crops, and the ecological conservation and sustainable use of tropical rainforests, is particularly encouraged. By publishing these findings, the TLSR aims to provide scientific basis and technical support for the management of biological resources and biodiversity conservation in the tropics.
