Abstract
The Journal of Comparative Physiology A, also known as JCPA, was founded by Karl von Frisch and Alfred Kühn in 1924, then under its German title Zeitschrift für vergleichende Physiologie. During the 100 years of its history, it became the leading international journal in comparative physiology and its daughter discipline, neuroethology. As such, it had a major impact on the development of these disciplines. In celebration of this achievement and the nearly 10,000 articles that appeared during the last 100 years, this Centennial Issue is published. Its authors reflect on the history of JCPA and the early pioneers, including women scientists, of comparative physiology; share the impact that the Journal had on their careers; discuss the benefit of the enormous taxonomic diversity of model systems used in studies published in JCPA; contrast this philosophy with the strategy of a limited number of standard biomedical model systems; review popular and trending research topics covered in JCPA; and, by interrogating the past, take a peek into the future of neuroethology.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Comparative Physiology A welcomes original articles, short reviews, and short communications in the following fields:
- Neurobiology and neuroethology
- Sensory physiology and ecology
- Physiological and hormonal basis of behavior
- Communication, orientation, and locomotion
- Functional imaging and neuroanatomy
Contributions should add to our understanding of mechanisms and not be purely descriptive. The level of organization addressed may be organismic, cellular, or molecular.
Colour figures are free in print and online.
