Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal explores ecological and evolutionary processes, including the regulation of inequality in animal societies, the role of evolution in population persistence amidst environmental change, and the identification and conservation implications of marine climate refugia. It also examines the impacts of human-mediated gene flow, particularly mitochondrial DNA introgression, on population viability and adaptation, and evaluates the consequences of nature-based solutions for biological invasions. Furthermore, the journal discusses the theoretical underpinnings of biological theories, emphasizing the integration of physics and biology.
