Ecology and Evolution

Our overriding philosophy is to be “author friendly”. We intend to provide a forum for authors to present their evidence-based views, as long as they are not factually incorrect (or, you know, wacky). In practice, this means that we allow authors to disagree with reviewers but we expect them to acknowledge and address disagreements in the manuscript.

Editors: Allen Moore, Andrew Beckerman,  Jennifer Firn, Amy Austin
Online ISSN: 2045-7758

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment

Issued 10 times per year, consists of peer-reviewed, synthetic review articles on all aspects of ecology, the environment, and related disciplines, as well as short, high-impact research communications of broad interdisciplinary appeal. Additional features include breaking news (domestic and international), multi-author debates, editorials, special columns, and a letters section.
