Journal Title：Auk

The Auk: Ornithological Advances is an international, peer-reviewed journal that publishes original research and scholarship advancing the fundamental scientific knowledge of bird species and of broad biological concepts (e.g., ecology, evolution, behavior, physiology, genetics) through studies of bird species. Articles often introduce or employ innovative empirical and theoretical approaches and analyses.

Topics covered in the journal, either individually or using an integrative approach, include:

Evolutionary history and paleontology

Systematics and nomenclature

Behavioral ecology

Foraging strategies and tactics

Population biology and ecology

Molecular ecology

Community and landscape ecology

Migration and orientation

Spacing patterns and habitat use

Genetics and genomics

Epigenetics, and evolutionary development

Physiology and biochemistry

Morphology and anatomy

Integrative and cross-disciplinary studies

Theoretical and methodological advances

Thematic reviews and opinion pieces
