Mammalian Biology (formerly Zeitschrift für S?ugetierkunde) is an international scientific journal edited by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für S?ugetierkunde (German Society for Mammalian Biology). The journal is devoted to the publication of research on mammals. Its scope covers all aspects of mammalian biology, such as anatomy, morphology, palaeontology, taxonomy, systematics, molecular biology, physiology, neurobiology, ethology, genetics, reproduction, development, evolutionary biology, domestication, ecology, wildlife biology and diseases, conservation biology, and the biology of zoo mammals.To qualify for publication, a manuscript must contribute to the understanding of mammalian biology by presenting either new and original research data (as a full article or in short communication format) or a thorough review of a particular topic of mammalogical research. Investigations using mammals merely as models or emphasizing experimental or veterinary aspects are of interest only if they are of substantial relevance to mammalogists. Studies testing explicitly formulated hypotheses are preferred to those presenting primarily descriptive results.Due to its wide range of topics, Mammalian Biology is primarily of interest to scientists working in the listed various fields of mammalogy but also to biologists and zoologists in general as well as to veterinarians and medical scientists.

哺乳動物生物學(前身為Zeitschrift fur Saugetierkunde)是德國Gesellschaft fur Saugetierkunde(德國哺乳動物生物學學會)編輯的國際科學期刊。該雜志致力于發表有關哺乳動物的研究。涵蓋了哺乳動物生物學的各個方面，如解剖學、形態學、古生物學、分類學、系統學、分子生物學、生理學、神經生物學、行為學、遺傳學、生殖發育、進化生物學、馴養學、生態學、野生動物生物學與疾病學、保護生物學、動物園哺乳動物生物學等。為了有資格發表，手稿必須通過提供新的和原始的研究數據(完整的文章或簡短的交流格式)，或對哺乳動物研究的特定主題進行徹底的回顧，來促進對哺乳動物生物學的理解。僅以哺乳動物為模型或強調實驗或獸醫方面的研究，只有在它們與哺乳動物學家有重大關聯時才有意義。與那些主要呈現描述性結果的研究相比，測試明確制定的假設的研究更受歡迎。由于其廣泛的主題，哺乳動物生物學主要是感興趣的科學家在列出的各種領域的哺乳動物，但也對生物學家和動物學家的一般，以及獸醫和醫學科學家。
