Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on ecological processes and interactions within communities and ecosystems. Studies investigate factors influencing species richness, community assembly, and phylogenetic structure, often examining the roles of habitat characteristics and interspecific interactions like predation. Research also explores the phenology and physiological responses of organisms to environmental changes, including climate and anthropogenic stressors, and their implications for population dynamics and species distributions. The journal covers topics such as trophic interactions, diet specialization, and the impact of disturbances on ecosystem functions like primary production and decomposition.
