The Journal of the North American Benthological Society is published quarterly (March, June, September, and December) by the North American Benthological Society, P. O. Box 7065, Lawrence, Kansas 66044-7065 USA. The North American Benthological Society is a not-for-profit organization founded in 1953 and incorporated in the State of Illinois in 1967. The Journal of the North American Benthological Society publishes articles that will promote further understanding of benthic communities and their roles in aquatic ecosystems. In keeping with the current interests of most Society members, emphasis will be on freshwater inland habitats. However, papers on aspects of estuarine and marine benthology that address common ecological processes and properties are also encouraged. Submissions can range from full-length treatments to short papers. Short papers should tell a complete story and be supported by data. The editors welcome a wide range of benthological topics, including: physical and chemical properties of lentic and lotic habitats; ecosystem processes; community structure and function; aquatic linkages; ecology and systematics of organisms, from bacteria to benthic-feeding vertebrates; conservation and restoration; environmental management and pollution; and methods for basic or applied work. Theoretical discussions and critical appraisals of rapidly developing research fields also will be considered. Reviews, meta-analyses, perspectives, and book reviews are welcome.
