Seychelles biodiversity

For 30 years between 1992 and 2022 Phelsuma was published as an open access journal of island biology, covering ecology, conservation, behaviour, taxonomy, biogeography, history and taxonomy. It started in 1992 as the scientific journal of Nature Protection Trust of Seychelles with a geographical remit of the Western Indian Ocean, accompanied by the natural history magazine Birdwatch (now superseded by Seychelles Wildlife News.From 2010 Phelsuma was a fully open-access on-line journal.

Phelsuma met the requirements for new species descriptions and other new nomenclatural acts under the rules of the International Commission on Zoological Nomenclature, its content being registered on ZooBank and archived on the Internet Archive.
