The , the oldest continuously published journal on animal behavior, has reached its centennial year. I examined each article published in the Journal over the past 100 years to document the changing roles of women and of international authors over the past century. The analysis also documented changes in the range of species and topics studied over the Journal's history. The Journal published the greatest number of articles in 1969, but as new journals appeared that focused on animal learning and behavioral neuroscience, the number of articles published decreased. In the past 35 years, since these other journals appeared, there has been a steady increase in the proportion of female authors and of authors working from outside North America. At the same time, the diversity of species and topics studied has increased. As a result, the Journal today is very different than it was 100 years ago. Comparative psychology appears to be thriving better in Europe and Asia than in North America, so maintaining a diversity of taxa studied and an international authorship and readership will be critical for the Journal's continued vitality.

《动物行为》是持续出版时间最长的动物行为学杂志，现已迎来创刊一百周年。我查阅了该杂志在过去100年里发表的每一篇文章，以记录女性和国际作者在过去一个世纪中角色的变化。分析还记录了该杂志历史上所研究物种范围和主题的变化。该杂志在1969年发表的文章数量最多，但随着专注于动物学习和行为神经科学的新杂志出现，发表的文章数量减少了。在过去35年里，自从这些其他杂志出现以来，女性作者和北美以外地区作者的比例一直在稳步上升。与此同时，所研究物种和主题的多样性也增加了。因此，如今的这本杂志与100年前大不相同。比较心理学在欧洲和亚洲似乎比在北美发展得更好，所以保持所研究分类群的多样性以及国际作者群体和读者群体对该杂志的持续活力至关重要。（PsycInfo数据库记录（c）2021美国心理学会，保留所有权利）
