Ornithology

Scope

The Auk: Ornithological Advances publishes original research from all parts of the globe that tests fundamental, scientific hypotheses through ornithological studies and advances our understanding of living or extinct bird species. Descriptive studies are considered if they present new taxonomic information about birds, such as scientifically rigorous descriptions of new species, or important discoveries that open novel avenues of fundamental, ornithological research. The Auk has been published continuously since 1884 and was recently recognized as one of the 100 most influential journals of biology and medicine over the past 100 years.
