Annals of Carnegie Museum is an international journal that publishes peer-reviewed short- and medium-length contributions in organismal biology, earth sciences, and anthropology, in 40 by 52.5 pica format (168 by 220 mm or 6-5/8 by 8-5/8 inches). Specific studies treat fossil and living plants and animals, especially vascular floras, arthropods, mollusks, echinoderms, brachiopods, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Subjects of major focus include systematics, evolutionary relationships, biogeography, ecology, faunal and floral composition, comparative morphology and karyology, paleontology, paleoecology, palynology, historical geology, biostratigraphy, ethnology, and archaeology.
