Publisher Profiles

This journal features peer-reviewed, scientific content that can appeal to folks interested in fish, flowers, trees, mammals, bugs, water, rocks, tidal zones – the list goes on. The public are inherently interested in these topics, as the natural world is the landscape in which we live our lives. Learning about the various aspects of this natural world, through Northwest Science’s diverse coverage, enriches our lives and strengthens the connection between people and nature, making the world a bit brighter.

The public should care about shellfish research because these organisms provide crucial ecosystem services. They filter and clean our coastal waters, provide structure and spawning grounds for other marine species, and serve as indicators of environmental health. When we understand how shellfish respond to environmental changes, we can better protect both marine ecosystems and the human communities that depend on them.

The Journal of East African Natural History is connecting biodiversity researchers in eastern Africa. I believe many foreign researchers got to know local researchers through our publication and have since developed fruitful collaborations. It is a small community and many of the researchers know each other, even if they specialize in a different group of organisms.

Today, the American Microscopical Society remains dedicated to the two goals of its mission. First, we promote the presentation, discussion, and publication of new and significant information regarding invertebrates and other organisms. Second, we encourage new generations of researchers to use microscopes and other imaging instruments to address biological questions.

The Journal of Raptor Research was started in 1967 to provide a repository where Raptor Research Foundation members could find the latest science on raptor conservation and management. Then and now, many raptor populations were in serious decline from exposure to pollutants, habitat loss, persecution, and a suite of other factors. Members need information at their fingertips so they can act quickly to address these threats.

The United States shares a 3,000-kilometer border with Mexico that is crossed 250,000 times daily in both directions by passenger vehicles and commercial trucks. Arthropod pests may hitchhike in them, a high risk for the invasion of exotic pests. Southwestern Entomologist is the primary scientific journal in both countries for regulatory policies and information on potential invasive pests, fostering bilateral collaboration.
