Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on species distributions, their ecological and evolutionary drivers, and their implications for conservation. Articles investigate how climate change, human disturbance, and functional traits influence species diversity and distribution patterns. The journal also covers methodologies for biodiversity data analysis, including species distribution modeling, genetic analyses, and the use of citizen science and local ecological knowledge. Studies frequently examine adaptation, connectivity, and population dynamics across various taxa and geographic regions.
