Biology Letters (ISSN|1744-9561) is a journal covering a wide spectrum of the biological sciences published both in print and online. Launched from Proceedings of the Royal Society B in 2005, it publishes papers regularly online. Originally publishing each quarter, from 2007 it publishes 6 issues a year. All content is published weekly online sometime before it appears in print, although it is fully citable via its DOI from its date of publication online.

Its emphasis is in evolutionary biology and animal behaviour, but it has a growing reputation in molecular evolution, global change biology, evolutionary neurobiology and many other areas. The Editor is Brian Charlesworth, FRS, and it has an international editorial board, the names of whom can be found via the "Biology Letters" homepage (http://publishing.royalsociety.org/biologyletters). All content is assigned to one of the following categories: Animal behaviour, Biomechanics, Community Ecology, Conservation,Evolutionary Biology, Evolutionary developmental biology, Genome Biology, Global Change Biology, Marine Biology, Molecular evolution, Neurobiology, Palaeontology, Pathogen Biology, Physiology, Phylogeny, Population ecology or Population Genetics which gives a good idea of the scope of the journal.
