The Journal of Animal Ecology
Overview
The Journal of Animal Ecology is a renowned scientific journal that publishes cutting-edge research on the ecology, behavior, and conservation of animals. With a multidisciplinary approach, it covers a wide range of topics including population dynamics, community interactions, evolutionary biology, and the impacts of environmental change on animal species. This journal serves as a valuable resource for researchers, ecologists, and conservationists seeking to deepen their understanding of animal ecology and contribute to the field's advancement.

Population ecology and biogeography applications often necessitate the transfer of models across spatial and/or temporal dimensions to make predictions outside the bounds of the data used for model fitting. However,...

Ecosystem engineers shape ecological communities worldwide by modifying the habitats of other taxa. Engineering activities may generate feedbacks that benefit the engineers themselves, though such evidence is sparse. The superb...

Theoretical and some empirical evidence suggest that the population dynamics of cooperative breeders (i.e. species with groups including non-reproductive individuals that raise the offspring of dominant breeders) are more likely...

Phenotypic variation among individuals scales up when they associate with others, creating variation within and among groups that can shape group-level outcomes such as when and where groups move. While...

Billions of animals undertake migratory journeys every year, with powerful consequences for ecosystem dynamics. Key behaviours that enable successful migration are often guided by the visual system. The amount and...

Growing evidence suggests that organisms with narrow niche requirements are particularly disadvantaged in small habitat patches, typical of fragmented landscapes. However, the mechanisms behind this relationship remain unclear. Dietary specialists...

Large herbivores at northern latitudes often forage on agricultural farmland. In these populations, the presence of both resident and migrant individuals (termed partial migration) is common, but how migrants and...

Uniparental incubating birds must resolve the trade-off between self-maintenance and incubation. This balance manifests through diverse incubation behaviours that vary significantly among species and geographic regions. However, limited research has...
