The
Occasional Papers of the Louisiana State University Museum of Natural Science
The Occasional Papers of the LSU Museum of Natural Science
was founded in May 4, 1938 with the publication of the first issue. The journal
was founded by George Lowery, Jr. just two years after he founded the LSU MNS.
This journal was closely modeled after the Occasional Papers of the Museum of
Zoology, University of Michigan series and continues to follow the tradition of
that journal and other museum publications such as the American Museum
Novitates.
This journal is
open access, and available on-line for free. It is free to publish in the
journal and all manuscripts have been reviewed externally. Manuscript topics
cover all aspects of natural history including: ecology, population genetics,
taxonomy, and phylogenetics. Final acceptance is at the discretion of the
editor. To submit a manuscript, please contact:
