Aims & Scope

The Journal publishes original research papers and review articles. Researchers from all countries are invited to publish pure or applied ecological, environmental, biogeographical, zoological, botanical, paleontological, biometrical-biomathematical and quantitative ecological or multidisciplinary agricultural research of international interest on its pages. The focus is on topics such as: -Community, ecosystem and global ecology- Biometrics, theoretical- and quantitative ecology- Multidisciplinary agricultural and environmental research- Sustainable and organic agriculture, natural resource management- Ecological methodology, monitoring and modeling- Biodiversity and ecosystem research, microbiology, botany and zoology- Biostatistics and modeling in epidemiology, public health and veterinary- Earth history, paleontology, extinctions, biogeography, biogeochemistry- Conservation biology, environmental protection- Ecological economics, natural capital and ecosystem services- Climatology, meteorology, climate change, climate-ecology. The Journal publishes theoretical papers as well as application-oriented contributions and practical case studies. There is no bias with regard to taxon or geographical area. Purely descriptive papers (like only taxonomic lists) will not be accepted for publication.
