Since its inception in 1867, The American Naturalist has maintained its position as one of the world's premier peer-reviewed publications in ecology, evolution, and behavior research. Its goals are to publish articles that are of broad interest to the readership, pose new and significant problems, introduce novel subjects, develop conceptual unification, and change the way people think. AmNat emphasizes sophisticated methodologies and innovative theoretical syntheses—all in an effort to advance the knowledge of organic evolution and other broad biological principles.
自1867年创刊以来，《美国博物学家》一直保持着其在生态学、进化论和行为研究方面世界首屈一指的同行评议出版物之一的地位。它的目标是发表读者广泛感兴趣的文章，提出新的和重要的问题，介绍新颖的主题，发展概念统一，并改变人们的思维方式。AmNat强调复杂的方法和创新的理论合成-所有这些都是为了推进有机进化和其他广泛的生物学原理的知识。
