Ichthyology & Herpetology is the official publication of the American Society of Ichthyologists and Herpetologists. It has been continually published for over a century (originally as Copeia) and is a highly respected international journal dedicated to the publication of high quality research papers and reviews on the behavior, conservation, ecology, evolution, genetics, morphology, physiology, systematics, and taxonomy of extant and extinct amphibians, fishes, and reptiles. Ichthyology & Herpetology (formerly Copeia) is available in print (1913–2021), online through the Allen Press Meridian platform and BioOne (2000–current), and online through JSTOR (1913–2017).
