As a classical discipline in the field of life sciences, research directions in zoology and related fields such as Animal Genetics and Evolution, Animal Diversity, Protection and Utilization, and Primates and Animal Models are not only the basis of various fields of research, but also play important roles in the development of multidisciplinary integration. To track frontier research in the field of zoology, strengthen communication among researchers, and promote cooperation and development of related disciplines, we are holding the “2019 Frontiers in Zoology Symposium” based on the successful hosting of the symposium in 2017 and 2018. As such, we kindly invite experts and scholars from various research institutes to participate in the forum to exchange viewpoints and progress and further the advancement of frontier science.
