Ecology and Evolution
Overview
Ecology and Evolution is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that publishes cutting-edge research in the fields of ecology, evolutionary biology, and related disciplines. It covers a wide range of topics, including population dynamics, community ecology, behavioral ecology, conservation biology, and evolutionary genetics. With a focus on both theoretical and empirical studies, the journal provides a platform for scientists to share their findings and insights, contributing to our understanding of the complex interactions between organisms and their environment, as well as the processes that sha
