Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on biodiversity, focusing on the description, classification, and genetic diversity of various species. Studies investigate population structure, evolutionary history, and conservation of plants, fish, insects, and microorganisms. The journal also covers ecological interactions, including trophic relationships, predator-prey dynamics, and the impact of environmental factors like land-use change and pollution on species assemblages and microbial communities. Research methodologies include genetic analysis, morphological descriptions, field sampling, and modeling.
