SOUTHEASTERN NATURALIST

地理区域覆盖,博物学家东南部涵盖陆地的自然历史科学的所有方面,淡水,海洋生物和环境的一部分北美东南部,大约有界从北卡罗莱纳南佛罗里达,西德克萨斯,俄克拉何马州北部,东回到北卡罗莱纳。基于本区域以外实地研究的提供本区域内物种信息的手稿可由编辑酌情考虑。手稿主题-该杂志欢迎基于对陆地、淡水、海洋生物和群落生物学的观察和研究的手稿，因为它涉及到它们的生活史、它们在环境和栖息地中的功能、利用和适应，以及物种和栖息地的生态和保护。这些研究可能包括实地测量、调查和/或在实验室条件下的实验，或利用博物馆和植物标本室的标本。学科领域包括但不限于解剖学、行为学、生物地理学、生物学、保护学、进化论、生态学、遗传学、寄生虫学、生理学、种群生物学和分类学。对该地区自然历史方面的严格的实验室、建模和模拟研究，没有任何领域的成分，将被考虑出版，只要研究对领域博物学家有直接和明确的意义，手稿讨论这些含义。特殊问题-东南自然学家欢迎基于一系列邀请文章或会议记录的特殊问题的建议。特刊编辑可以依靠期刊工作人员多年的经验，有效地处理与特刊出版有关的大多数细节。

Geographical region covered - The Southeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the southeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from North Carolina south to Florida, west to Texas, north to Oklahoma, and east back to North Carolina. 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.Manuscript subject matter - 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.Special issues - The Southeastern Naturalist welcomes proposals for special issues that are based on a series of invitational articles or on conference proceedings. Special issue editors can rely on the journal staff’s years of experiences in efficiently handling most details relating to the publication of special issues.
