Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology is organized to integrate the many fields of specialization which occur in the broad field of biology.[1]

The society was formed in 1902 as the American Society of Zoologists, through the merger of two societies, the "Central Naturalists" and the "American Morphological Society" (founded in 1890).[2] The Ecological Society of America split from it in 1915, and another society of geneticists also split from it in 1930.[1] In 1996 the name was changed to the Society for Integrative and Comparative Biology.[1]

The society publishes two

scientific journals: the bimonthly journal Integrative and Comparative Biology (formerly the American Zoologist) and Evolution & Development.[3][4] It is organized in a flexible structure with many lightweight divisions.[1] As of 2014, it has approximately 3500 members.[1]
