《自然歷史雜志》是一份國際性的動物學雜志，發表有關進化生物學和生態學的原創研究和評論。它出版了從孔雀類到脊索動物的廣泛的系統學論文，包括傳統的分類修訂和描述、分類學分析、分子系統遺傳學和系統基因組學，從而保持了它的歷史地位。該雜志承認昆蟲學和海洋無脊椎動物的優勢，但也歡迎關于所有動物物種的自然史和物種與其環境的相互作用的論文。優先考慮深入的論文和廣泛的分類評論:通常不考慮單個物種的描述和檢查表。如果作者希望推薦一篇評論文章，請聯系相關編輯。

Journal of Natural History is an international zoological journal publishing original research and reviews in evolutionary biology and ecology. It maintains its historical niche by publishing a broad range of systematics papers on all animal phyla from Porifera to Chordata, encompassing traditional taxonomic revisions and descriptions, cladistic analyses and molecular phylogenetics and phylogenomics. The journal has recognized strengths in entomology and marine invertebrates, but also welcomes papers on the natural history of all animal species and on the interactions of species with their environment. Preference is given to in-depth papers and extensive taxonomic reviews: single species descriptions and checklists are not normally considered. Authors wishing to suggest a review paper should contact the relevant editor.
