The journal publishes topics across the life sciences. As long as the core subject lies within the biological sciences, some issues may also include content crossing into other areas such as the physical sciences, social sciences, biophysics, policy, economics etc. Issues generally sit within four broad areas (although many issues sit across these areas):Organismal, environmental and evolutionary biologyNeuroscience and cognitionCellular, molecular and developmental biologyHealth and disease.
该杂志发表的主题涵盖生命科学。只要核心学科在生物科学中，一些议题也可能包括跨越其他领域的内容，如物理科学、社会科学、生物物理学、政策、经济学等。议题通常位于四个广泛的领域（尽管许多议题横跨这些领域）：生物、环境和进化生物学神经科学和认知细胞、分子和发育生物学健康和疾病。
