Journal Title：Northeastern Naturalist

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.

东北博物学家涵盖陆地、淡水和海洋生物的自然历史科学的所有方面以及北美东北部的环境，大致从弗吉尼亚州到密苏里州，北到明尼苏达州和努纳武特，东到纽芬兰，向南回到弗吉尼亚。编辑可酌情考虑基于该地区以外的实地研究提供该地区内物种信息的手稿。

该杂志欢迎基于观察和研究的手稿，这些观察和研究侧重于陆地、淡水和海洋生物和群落的生物学，因为它涉及到它们的生活史及其在环境和栖息地中的功能、使用和适应它们被发现，以及物种和栖息地的生态和保护。此类研究可能包括在现场、实验室条件下或利用博物馆和植物标本馆标本的测量、调查和/或实验。学科领域包括但不限于解剖学、行为学、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。只要研究对实地博物学家有直接和明确的意义，并且手稿讨论了这些影响，我们将考虑出版对该地区自然历史方面的严格实验室、建模和模拟研究，没有任何实地成分。
