Acta Zoologica: Morphology and Evolution is a peer reviewed, scientific journal published since 1920 by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters. It is one of the world's leading zoological journals[1] It focuses on animal development, structure and function, including physiological organization. It has primarily published zoological and physiological original research, but occasionally it has published review articles.

Originally entitled just Acta Zoologica, recently it has been predominant in the field of animal structure from the cellular to the whole organism level, and added its subtitle morphology and evolution. Increasingly, it focuses on animal development, with emphasis on the functional, comparative and phylogenetic aspects.[1] The 2006-2007 editors are Graham Budd and Lennart Olsson.[2] It is currently (2007) published by Blackwell Publishing for the royal academies.[2]
