If you suspect we have an old email address for you, please contact the Biotropica office to update your record.
For existing account-holders, please associate your ORCID with your account before submitting if you have not done so already. If you do not have an account, please select “Register Here” on the Biotropica ScholarOne homepage. Please note that ORCID is now required to create an account with us.
Please study the site’s Instructions and Forms using the link at the top of the screen and then let the system guide you through the submission process. Online help is available to you at all times during the process. If you have any questions or need assistance during the submission process, please contact us at office@biotropica.org.

Types of Papers
Original Article (up to 5000 words): studies that will advance our understanding of evolutionary, ecological, or conservation theory in tropical systems. The data used to test hypotheses can be collected using any rigorous approach (e.g., experimental, observational, genetic, etc.). The word count excludes the abstract, figures/tables, and references.
Insights (up to 2000 words & up to two figures or tables with additional material published as online Supporting Information): Submissions to this category describe a concise empirical study that represents a particularly interesting or original development in the field. The word count excludes the abstract, figures/tables, and references.
Review (up to 8000 words): a significant synthesis and interpretation of a major topic in tropical biology.
Commentary (up to 2000 words): an authoritative opinion on current issues in ecology or conservation, or a thought-provoking commentary on a previously published paper. The word count excludes the abstract, figures/tables, and references.
Natural History Field Notes (up to 2000 words with two figures, tables or other graphics, with additional material published online as Supporting Information): this paper category features novel natural history or field observations. Submissions must tell a compelling story that generates a novel hypothesis or that can be placed in a larger context of tropical ecology, biology, and evolution. While we recognize that these may be rare events and thus inferences may be based on a single event or handful of observations, the manuscript as a whole must be robust enough to be of broad interest to our international readership. Manuscripts that describe first reports of species in new areas, or that are describing behaviors or diet typical of the focal taxon/taxa are not likely to be given full consideration unless they can clearly articulate the potential novelty significance of the observations. Natural History Field Notes are typically expected (although not required) to be accompanied by a high quality, photo, video, or audio recording that helps to document the observations. The word count excludes the 50-word abstract, figures/tables, and references. Please see the following for recent examples of Natural History Field Notes: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/btp.12916
