Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

This journal publishes research on the distribution and patterns of biodiversity across various ecosystems and taxonomic groups. Studies investigate the influence of climate change, land-use change, and geological factors on species distributions, range shifts, and endemism. The journal also explores methodologies for assessing biodiversity knowledge and reconstructing past ecological patterns using techniques like ancient DNA and fossil pollen analysis.
