Scope

Biodiversity & Ecology publishes research papers as well as forum papers, reviews and reports on biodiversity, evolution, and ecology. The journal is usually published in one volume per year and comprises 200-300 pages. Biodiversity & Ecology publishes articles in English and exceptional cases in German. The layout is very attractive with pages in A4 format (30 cm × 21 cm) and printed in full-colour. From Volume 4 onwards, there is a free access online version in addition to the printed edition.

The individual volumes are mostly dedicated to specific themes and guest-edited by a team of scientists (available volumes). Proposals for new thematic volumes or individual articles should be sent to the Editors (see above).

The individual volumes of Biodiversity & Ecology (available volumes) can be ordered from the above address. Biodiversity & Ecology can further be subscribed to by exchange agreement if own scientific journals or series are available and offered in exchange. The journal is available in many scientific libraries worldwide.
