Aims & Scope✦ Inferred from recent articles

Rethinking Ecology publishes research on ecological processes, including species' tolerance to environmental stressors, the impact of diseases on coral populations, evolutionary theory, the effects of artificial light on nocturnal species, and the use of non-invasive genetic sampling for biodiversity assessment. The journal also features studies on spatial analysis of ecological data, reproductive tactics in fish, the evolutionary history of viroids, plant-herbivore interactions, and conservation strategies for terrestrial biodiversity. Additionally, it explores topics such as the effectiveness of conservation communication through gaming, the drivers of environmental crises, methodological critiques in ecological research, gender bias in scientific authorship and funding, ecosystem recovery, and the application of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles in pest control.
