disease (COVID-19) pandemic, covering a variety of topics from animal models of SARS-CoV-2 infection and pathobiology of COVID-19, to the origin and dynamics of SARS-CoV-2 epidemiology (Gómez-Carballa et al., 2020; Gong et al., 2020; Liang et al., 2020; Song et al., 2020; Wong et al., 2020; Xu et al., 2020; Yu et al., 2020) . The first report of a new primate species, Popa langur, from Myanmar has received word-wide attention since its first release (Roos et al., 2020) . Furthermore, a novel study regarding hypobaric hypoxia (HH) exposure in non-human primates has helped advance our understanding of the pathology induced by acute HH and provides potential compounds for the development of neuroprotectant drugs for therapeutic treatment . There are many more that could not be mentioned here due to the limit of space. However, all publications reflect the real mission of ZR in the field of zoology, that is, to promote science in a timely way to the benefit of society.

In the new year, we warmly welcome those interested in organizing an upcoming special issue/column to contact us for discussion. The 10th editorial board has performed its duties impeccably, though its term has ended on 31 December 2020. The 11th editorial board commences as of 2021 and includes 48 outstanding scientists from 11 countries across the world. We expect that this vibrant editorial board will work as tirelessly and efficiently as the outgoing one. We will continue to recruit new editorial board members to promote ZR with their full support and endless enthusiasm.

The importance of high-profile publishing platforms has become well established in China in recent years. China has now built a solid foundation for publishing an increasing number of high-profile and high-quality journals with substantial academic influence and distinction. We will never forget why ZR was established 40 years ago and will keep its mission firmly in mind. We believe that ZR will become one of the main actors in the new era. Looking forward, ZR will continue to focus on publishing exciting research on 1) Primates and Animal Models, 2) Animal Diversity and Evolution, and 3) Conservation and Utilization of Animal Resources. As always, we hope for your enduring contributions and encouragement. We are proud to publish your representative works to highlight the advances in the field of zoology. Thank you again for your generous help and continued support of ZR.
