Most of these journals (except those indicated) have no page charges and most give some free reprints; those that do invite authors without funding to apply for grants or waivers.
Should you know of additional journals that others of us might be interested to use, please send me the same types of data and I can add it. Pardon the lack of diacritical marks in the titles and addresses, but this HTML editor doesn't let me use them!
And while it might sound strange to publish something on an American or African topic in a Japanese journal, if they'll do it, why not?

A quarterly journal devoted to publishing species occurrence lists, geographic distribution maps, and notes on the geographic distribution of any taxon... traditionally neglected and considered "too basic" or "not scientifically relevant" for publication in other venues.Efforts to preserve the remaining ranges of species are fundamental for the conservation of biodiversity and the first step to accomplish this is to keep records of the distribution of the species... created to fill this gap by publishing papers on these important inventories. |
