Authors are invited to submit papers on the following topics:
- Book reviews
- Commentaries and topical reviews
- Economics related to theory and research
- Human dimensions related to theory and research (e.g., new approaches to understand human dimension surveys)
- Investigations into the biology and ecology of wildlife that benefit management and conservation (e.g., life histories, demography, movements, and habitat relations that are useful to better manage and conserve wildlife)
- Modeling of populations, habitat, or human dimensions
- New analytical and quantitative methodological approaches related to wildlife science (e.g., statistical, quantitative)
- Theoretical concepts that benefit management and conservation

Aims & Scope
Wildlife Monographs, one of three peer-reviewed journals of The Wildlife Society, publishes research regarding the management and conservation of wildlife, emphasizing comprehensive synthesis of a topic.
Wildlife Monographs publishes manuscripts containing information from original research that contributes to wildlife science. Suitable topics include investigations into the biology and ecology of wildlife and their habitat that have direct or indirect implications for wildlife management and conservation. These topics include information on wildlife habitat use, demographics, life-history, genetics, predator-prey relationships, space use, movements, modeling, behavior, and physiology. Emphasis is placed on how the research fits within the context of contemporary management and conservation issues and can inform wildlife practitioners.
Wildlife Monographs also considers extensive reviews, meta-analyses, long-term or interdisciplinary research, and invites contributions on timely special topics providing a meaningful new synthesis or research results on an appropriate subject. Manuscripts generally will be >50 double-spaced pages, present a comprehensive examination of a subject, include an in-depth literature review and context, and provide a broad interpretation of concepts advancing wildlife science and management.

Frequency
Wildlife Monographs publishes at least one issue per year.
