Mathematical Biology Now Covered by Biology Direct
Biology Direct considers original research articles, hypotheses, comments, discovery notes and reviews in selected subject areas, and will eventually cover the full spectrum of biology. Subject areas already launched include Genomics, Bioinformatics and Systems Biology, Immunology, and Mathematical Biology.
Andrei Yakovlev wrote an editorial that kicked off the new commitment to Mathematical Biology.
Modern mathematics offers a much richer arsenal of tools and ideas than those that are frequently employed to describe the enormous diversity of biological phenomena.

Don't you just love the proliferation of journals? As I mentioned in another comment here, there was a time when there were no disciplinary divisions. In those halcyon days, of course, there were just one or two journals rather than the tens of thousands we have now. Today, those one or two would each way several tonnes and be daily editions, of course.
