Editor-in-Chief: Rigor M. Ortis 

Rising from the grave in October 2024, just in time for Halloween, the Canadian Journal of Zombie Science is here to make your academic nightmares a little more entertaining. Read by academics, zombie enthusiasts, and survivors in the field, this spine-tingling journal is dedicated to the scientifically intriguing exploration of “zombie-like” phenomena in the realms of plants, animals, and the environment across the world. After all, zombies have no borders. 

Editor's Note: In the spirit of Halloween, we imagined launching the Canadian Journal of Zombie Science. While this unique journal is just for fun and doesn’t actually exist, it showcases real scientific papers that were previously published in the Canadian Science Publishing portfolio of journals.

How a parasitic fungus, Gibellula sp., takes over the minds of spiders, creating a “zombie-like” state.

Revival of saprotrophic and mycorrhizal basidiomycete cultures after 30 years in cold storage in sterile water

Dana L. Richter

Canadian Journal of Microbiology • Vol. 62, No. 1, November 2016

Read about fungi capable of being revived after 30 years in cold storage in sterile water—like zombies rising from the dead, with some struggling to survive.

A fluorescent host-guest complex of cucurbituril in solution: a molecular Jack O'Lantern

Brian D Wagner, Shannon J Fitzpatrick, Monica A Gill, Andrew I MacRae, and Natasa Stojanovic

Canadian Journal of Chemistry • Vol. 79, No. 7, July 2001

In 2001, researchers first discovered that cucurbituril (CB) boosts the fluorescence of the probe molecule 2-anilinonaphthalene-6-sulfonate (2,6-ANS) in solution by up to five times and dubbed this glowing complex the "molecular Jack O'Lantern”.

OPEN GRAVE ACCESS

Interindividual communication by bats via echolocation

Robert M.R. Barclay and David S. Jacobs

Canadian Journal of Zoology • Vol. 101, No. 3, March 2023

Over 1,400 species of bats use echolocation as their symphony of survival to gather information about their surroundings, including potential prey.
