The Journal of Mammalogy (JM) is an international, peer-reviewed publication of the American Society of Mammalogists (ASM). We publish manuscripts presenting original research and scholarship on mammals, including topics in mammalian evolution, ecology, behavior, systematics, management, and conservation. Articles should be of interest to a broad scientific readership and may include theoretical or empirical studies that advance our understanding of any aspect of mammalian biology. Book reviews generally may be solicited or readers may request to review a book of general interest to mammalogists (contact the Editor for Reviews). JM also publishes announcements of interest to ASM members.
