During more than 40 years of publishing, Micronesica has established a reputation as a vital venue and repository for information on the natural sciences in Micronesia. The peer-reviewed articles are of lasting value, documenting flora, fauna, and the natural history of the human populations on islands undergoing rapid changes. There are many "classic" papers, referred to long after publication. Many new species have been described in our pages; new biological records and checklists of species are also regular features. Reports range in approach from wildlife records, to local names of species, experimental studies, and taxonomic monographs. We have published conferences on Micronesian archaeology, pest species in the Pacific Islands, and other topics, and we are now the vehicle for the long-established series Insects of Micronesia, in collaboration with the Bishop Museum, Hawai'i.

Micronesica is received by libraries and individuals throughout the region and around the world through subscriptions and exchanges. Micronesica is listed in Biological Abstracts (BIOSIS) and CAB Abstracts.
 
Micronesica is pleased to announce that full text pdfs are posted upon publication and can be freely accessed via the Contents & Abstracts menu.  Pdfs are available from volume 31(2) (1999).

Micronesica provides a vehicle for authors from outside the region to bring their results back to the region while having them available worldwide.

Micronesica is normally published twice a year (June and December), with irregular Supplements.
