The Nautilus is a peer-reviewed scientific journal covering research in malacology. Hence its scope includes all aspects of the biology, ecology, and systematics of mollusks.[1]

The first two volumes were published by shell trader William D. Averell (1853-1928) under the name The Conchologists’ Exchange.[2] From 1958 to 1972, the subtitle of The Nautilus was "The Pilsbry Quarterly devoted to the Interests of Conchologists".[2]

Since 1999, its publication is partly sponsored by Florida's Division of Cultural Affairs[1] and the National Endowment for the Arts since 2002.[3]
