journal devoted to addressing important global challenges at the interface of environmental science, large scale ecology, biodiversity and conservation in a way that bridges scientific progress and assessment with efforts relating to impacts of global change, resilience, mitigation and adaptation in the broadest sense. A specific goal of the journal is to provide a forum to promote dialogue between environmental scientists, ecologists, resource managers and policy makers. All research methodologies are encouraged comprehensively covering qualitative, quantitative, experimental, theoretical and applied approaches to the field. Particular topics of interest include (but are not limited to): Applied ecology and the management of biological resources (including wildlife and habitat management, land use and management, aquatic resources, restoration ecology); Theoretical ecology and modelling; Biodiversity and species abundance; Conservation (including planning and risk assessment); Animal ecology; Microbial ecology; Evolution ecology; Chemical and molecular ecology; Marine ecology; Behavioural ecology; Remote sensing and ecology; Ecosystems and biospheres as complex adaptive systems; Tools and computational methods to study ecological systems (including AI, informatics and Big Data); Ecology and society. |
