Ornitología Neotropical welcomes high quality manuscripts concerning ornithological research in the Neotropical region, which includes from Mexico south to Argentina and Chile. Papers on Neotropical species in adjacent areas may be considered at the discretion of the editorial board. While the journal has currently a strong emphasis on natural history, all aspects of avian research are of potential interest. Range extensions and first country records of species are best published in national journals unless the findings have broad implications for the Neotropical region.
