Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

BMC Ecology and Evolution publishes research on the ecology and evolution of organisms. Studies investigate species interactions, population dynamics, community structure, and adaptation to environmental conditions. Topics include invasive species management, edge effects on biodiversity, soil and microbial stoichiometry, climate change impacts on breeding phenology, species distribution modeling, vegetation mapping, plant trait responses to environmental change, biocontrol agent ecology, epigenetic inheritance, macroinvertebrate community patterns, mosquito larval habitat characteristics, avian skin microbiome, clonal plant plasticity, invasive plant secondary metabolites, lichen dispersal mechanisms, land use and land cover change, plant-pollinator interactions, pollen limitation, bat migration, human-wildlife conflict, ectotherm developmental plasticity, vertebrate-mediated seed dispersal, and seed germination under ecological stresses.
