“The Ethiopian Journal of Biological Sciences (EJBS) is proud to announce that due to the diligent and dedicated hard work of the Secretariat and Editorial Board of the journal, we have been able to restore the timeliness of the journal now and hence manuscripts will be henceforth processed and published within the scheduled time with no delay. This is therefore to solicit biologists, senior staff and graduate students to send manuscripts for inclusion in the next issue of EJBS, March 2021, Vol. 20 (1). The manuscripts should be of sound scientific quality, carefully written and articulated manuscripts prepared in the EJBS format (see Guidelines to Authors) and should be submitted online at bseoffice@gmail.com; Attention Ms. Abenet Girma. Editorial Assistant. Your article will be published online on the African Journals Online (AJOL) website between the months of March – June, 2021.”

The Biological Society of Ethiopia is a professional association of biologists. One of the objectives of the Society is to publish scientific journals and other documents as media for communication among its members and the other researchers in the diverse fields of biology. To this effect, the Ethiopian Journal of Biological Sciences (Ethiop. J. Biol. Sci.) was launched in September 2002 as an official journal of the Biological Society of Ethiopia (BSE). It is a biannual (March and September), peer-reviewed journal that covers all aspects of basic and applied biology. It publishes research (full length) articles, short communications, review articles, book reviews, feature articles and dissertation abstracts.
