覆盖的地理区域 - 东北自然主义者涵盖陆地，淡水和海洋生物的自然历史科学的所有方面以及北美东北部的环境，大致从弗吉尼亚州到密苏里州，北到明尼苏达州和努纳武特，从东到纽芬兰，南回弗吉尼亚州。根据该地区以外的实地研究提供有关该地区物种信息的手稿可由编辑自行决定。手稿主题 - 期刊欢迎基于观察和研究的手稿，重点是陆地，淡水和海洋生物和群落的生物学，因为它涉及它们的生活历史及其在环境和栖息地内的功能，使用和适应性它们被发现，以及物种和栖息地的生态和保护。这些研究可能包括现场测量，调查和/或实验，实验室条件下，或利用博物馆和标本馆标本。主题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，进化学，生态学，遗传学，寄生虫学，生理学，群体生物学和分类学。只要研究对野外自然主义者具有直接和明确的意义，并且手稿讨论了这些含义，就会考虑对该地区的自然历史方面进行严格的实验室，建模和模拟研究，而不考虑任何现场组成部分。

Geographical region covered - The Northeastern Naturalist covers all aspects of the natural history sciences of terrestrial, freshwater, and marine organisms and the environments of the northeastern portion of North America, roughly bounded from Virginia to Missouri, north to Minnesota and Nunavut, east to Newfoundland, and south back to Virginia. 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.
