The Wilson Journal of Ornithology (WJO) publishes papers that advance knowledge in ornithology, including behavior, physiology, population and community ecology, evolution, biogeography, taxonomy, and conservation. Original research papers include well-justified, descriptive or exploratory studies on poorly known systems and question-driven studies of better-known systems. Short Communications may include studies with small sample sizes, one-off incidents, or anecdotal sets of observations, but they should clearly open new avenues for research in ornithology by raising important questions or hypotheses. Thus, for Short Communications about natural history we are looking for two pieces: (1) novel and interesting observation(s), and (2) a synthesis, analysis or interpretation that contributes new ideas. We generally do not publish descriptive avifaunal reports, local population counts, or new records for a state.
