TITLE HISTORY A title history is the publication history of a journal and includes a listing of the family of related journals. The most common relationship is to a previous and/or continuing title, where a journal continues publishing with a change to its official title. Other common relationships include a journal that is a supplement to another journal, a journal that is absorbed into another journal, a journal that splits into two or more new journals, or two or more journals that merge to form a new journal. For each of these related journals, the title history lists the dates published.

Originally published by the Marine Biological Laboratory, The Biological Bulletin seeks to disseminate novel scientific results in broadly related fields of biology in keeping with more than 100 years of a tradition of excellence. The Biological Bulletin publishes outstanding original research with an overarching goal of explaining how organisms develop, function, and evolve in their natural environments. To that end, the journal publishes papers in the fields of Neurobiology and Behavior, Physiology and Biomechanics, Ecology and Evolution, Development and Reproduction, Cell Biology, Symbiosis and Systematics. The Biological Bulletin emphasizes basic research on marine systems but also publishes articles of an interdisciplinary nature and on non-marine topics that fit the journal’s fundamental aims.
