Northeastern Naturalist

期刊简介：The Northeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the northeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from Virginia to Missouri, north to Minnesota and Nunavut, east to Newfoundland, and south back to Virginia. Manuscripts based on field studies outside of this region that provide information on species within this region may be considered at the Editor’s discretion.The journal welcomes manuscripts based on observations and research focused on the biology of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and communities as it relates to their life histories and their function within, use of, and adaptation to the environment and the habitats in which they are found, as well as on the ecology and conservation of species and habitats. Such studies may encompass measurements, surveys, and/or experiments in the field, under lab conditions, or utilizing museum and herbarium specimens. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, anatomy, behavior, biogeography, biology, conservation, evolution, ecology, genetics, parasitology, physiology, population biology, and taxonomy. Strict lab, modeling, and simulation studies on natural history aspects of the region, without any field component, will be considered for publication as long as the research has direct and clear significance to field naturalists and the manuscript discusses these implications.

【译文】《东北自然学家》涵盖北美东北部陆地、淡水和海洋生物的自然历史科学的所有方面，大致界限从弗吉尼亚州到密苏里州，北至明尼苏达州和努纳武特，东至纽芬兰，然后又回到弗吉尼亚州。如果稿件基于该地区以外的实地研究，但提供了关于该地区物种的信息，则可由编辑酌情考虑。该期刊欢迎基于对陆地、淡水和海洋生物及其生命史、在环境中的功能、对环境的利用和适应以及物种和栖息地的生态和保护的观察和研究的稿件。此类研究可能包括在野外、实验室条件下或利用博物馆和标本馆标本进行的测量、调查和/或实验。主题领域包括但不限于解剖学、行为、生物地理学、生物学、保护、进化、生态学、遗传学、寄生虫学、生理学、种群生物学和分类学。只要研究对野外自然学家有直接和明显的意义，并且稿件讨论了这些影响，那么对该地区自然历史方面的严格实验室、建模和模拟研究，如果没有任何野外组成部分，也将考虑发表。
