Revue suisse de Zoologie is a peer-reviewed scientific journal published by the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève that specializes in systematic zoology, taxonomy, and faunistics. Founded in the late 19th century, it has published monographic treatments, species descriptions, and faunal surveys that have been cited across European and global natural history institutions. The journal's archive includes contributions by curators and researchers associated with major museums and universities.
The journal was established in the context of late-19th-century natural history activity associated with institutions such as the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève, the British Museum (Natural History), the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, the Naturhistorisches Museum Wien, and the Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen. Early contributors included staff linked to the Université de Genève, the University of Zurich, the University of Bern, the Société helvétique des sciences naturelles, the Royal Society, the Linnean Society, and the Zoological Society of London. Over decades the journal has reflected taxonomic work connected to expeditions like those organized by the British Museum, the Musée océanographique de Monaco, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle expeditions to Madagascar, and fieldwork supported by the Swiss Academy of Sciences. Editors and authors have come from institutions such as the Natural History Museum, London; the Smithsonian Institution; the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew; the American Museum of Natural History; the California Academy of Sciences; and the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin.
The journal focuses on systematics and taxonomy of metazoans, with frequent treatments of arthropods, mollusks, chordates, annelids, echinoderms, and cnidarians. Contributors routinely cite collections from the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève, the Natural History Museum, Paris, the Natural History Museum, London, the Smithsonian Institution, the Field Museum, and the Zoological Museum of Moscow State University. Taxonomic revisions often reference type specimens held at institutions such as the Senckenberg Gesellschaft, the Rijksmuseum van Natuurlijke Historie, the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, and the Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Geographic coverage spans Europe, Africa, Asia, the Americas, Oceania, and polar regions studied by parties tied to expeditions like those of James Cook, Charles Darwin, Alfred Russel Wallace, the Challenger expedition, and later Antarctic and Arctic surveys conducted by national research programs including those of Russia, France, Britain, Germany, Italy, Sweden, Norway, and Spain.
The editorial board has historically included curators and taxonomists affiliated with the Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Genève, the Université de Genève, the University of Lausanne, the University of Basel, the ETH Zurich, the Natural History Museum, London, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, the Smithsonian Institution, the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences, and the Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Publishing responsibilities have been shared with Swiss scholarly bodies including the Swiss Academy of Sciences and regional learned societies such as the Société helvétique des sciences naturelles and partnerships with municipal institutions like the City of Geneva. Printers and distributors historically connected to Geneva have cooperated with international agents representing Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Elsevier, Springer, and Wiley for bibliographic dissemination.
Issues are released irregularly and often as thematic monographs or special volumes, produced in French or English to serve an international readership that includes researchers at the Royal Society, the Linnean Society, the Zoological Society of London, the Russian Academy of Sciences, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Museum of Natural History (France), the National Museum of Natural History (USA), and universities such as Harvard, Oxford, Cambridge, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Stanford, Zurich, Geneva, and Munich. Libraries and indexing services held by institutions like the Biodiversity Heritage Library, JSTOR, Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar track its output alongside catalogues maintained by the Library of Congress, the British Library, the Bibliothèque nationale de France, and the ETH-Bibliothek. Digitization projects involving partners such as the Natural History Museum, London, the Smithsonian Libraries, and the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle have increased accessibility for researchers at institutions including the American Museum of Natural History, the Field Museum, the Australian Museum, the Royal Ontario Museum, and the Museo Nacional de Ciencias Naturales.
The journal has published species descriptions and taxonomic revisions that have influenced work at the Natural History Museum, London; the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle; the Smithsonian Institution; the American Museum of Natural History; the Field Museum; the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences; the Naturalis Biodiversity Center; the Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Karlsruhe; and the Senckenberg Research Institute. Significant contributions have been cited in monographs and catalogues produced by authors associated with institutions such as the Linnean Society, the Royal Society, the British Museum (Natural History), the California Academy of Sciences, the Museum für Naturkunde Berlin, the Zoological Museum of the University of Copenhagen, and the National Museum of Natural History (France). The journal’s treatments of Balkan, Alpine, Mediterranean, African, Neotropical, Australasian, and Indo-Pacific faunas have been used in conservation assessments coordinated by bodies like the IUCN, the Bern Convention, and national agencies across Switzerland, France, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Sweden, Norway, and the United Kingdom.
Revue suisse de Zoologie is indexed in regional and international bibliographies consulted by researchers at the Royal Society, the Linnean Society, the Zoological Society of London, the Swiss Academy of Sciences, the Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, the Smithsonian Institution, the Natural History Museum, London, the Field Museum, the American Museum of Natural History, and the Naturalis Biodiversity Center. Citation metrics reflect its role in systematics literature cited alongside works from Cambridge University Press, Oxford University Press, Springer, Elsevier, Wiley, and university presses such as Harvard University Press and Princeton University Press. Its long-standing association with curatorial collections and major research institutions ensures continued relevance for taxonomy, biogeography, and museum-based research conducted at universities and museums worldwide, including Harvard, Yale, Oxford, Cambridge, Zurich, Geneva, Munich, and Berlin.
