AMERICAN JOURNAL OF PRIMATOLOGY

《美国灵长类动物学杂志》的目的是为灵长类动物学家之间的思想和发现交流提供一个论坛，并向专家和感兴趣的读者传达我们对这一动物秩序越来越多的理解。灵长类动物学是一门不同寻常的科学，因为它的实践者在不同的部门和机构工作，生活在世界各地的国家，并进行广泛的研究程序。无论我们是人类学家、心理学家、生物学家还是医学研究人员，无论我们生活在日本、肯尼亚、巴西还是美国，无论我们在野外进行自然主义观察还是在实验室进行实验，我们都为更好地理解灵长类动物而团结一致。我们对非人类灵长类动物的研究引起了从昆虫学到社会学等许多其他学科的科学家的兴趣。《美国灵长类学杂志》欢迎来自灵长类学各个领域的手稿投稿。这包括但不限于行为生态学、保护、进化生物学、生活史、人口学、古生物学、生理学、内分泌学、遗传学、分子遗传学和非人类灵长类动物的心理生物学。除了在已建立的领域发表论文外，我们还寻求就新的和正在发展的灵长类动物研究类型提交论文。《美国灵长类动物学杂志》是美国灵长类学会的官方期刊。该杂志每月出版一期，另一期补充介绍了美国灵长类动物学家协会年会的科学计划。

The objective of the American Journal of Primatology is to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and findings among primatologists and to convey our increasing understanding of this order of animals to specialists and interested readers alike.Primatology is an unusual science in that its practitioners work in a wide variety of departments and institutions, live in countries throughout the world, and carry out a vast range of research procedures. Whether we are anthropologists, psychologists, biologists, or medical researchers, whether we live in Japan, Kenya, Brazil, or the United States, whether we conduct naturalistic observations in the field or experiments in the lab, we are united in our goal of better understanding primates. Our studies of nonhuman primates are of interest to scientists in many other disciplines ranging from entomology to sociology.The American Journal of Primatology welcomes for consideration manuscripts from all areas of primatology. This includes but is not limited to the behavioral ecology, conservation, evolutionary biology, life history, demography, palaeontology, physiology, endocrinology, genetics, molecular genetics, and psychobiology of the nonhuman primates. As well as publishing in established areas, we seek submissions on new and developing types of primate studies.The American Journal of Primatology is the official journal of the American Society of Primatologists. The journal is published monthly, and a supplemental issue presents the scientific program of the annual meetings of the American Society of Primatologists.
