Geographical region covered - The Urban Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of urban and suburban areas worldwide.
Manuscript subject matter - The journal welcomes manuscripts based on original field research and observation as well as research summaries and general interest articles on topics of significance to field biologists worldwide. Subject areas include, but are not limited to, field ecology, biology, behavior, biogeography, restoration ecology, wildlife and fisheries management, taxonomy, evolution, anatomy, physiology, geology, and related fields as they occur in urban settings. Strictly lab, modeling, and simulation studies on natural history aspects of urban areas, without any field component, will also 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 Urban 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.
We welcome submissions of manuscripts. Please consider the following guidelines.
