Diversity and Distributions is a leading journal that publishes innovative research on the spatial ecology and biogeography of plants and animals. The journal's primary focus is to understand and explain patterns of biological diversity across spatial scales, including the processes that generate and maintain these patterns. The journal addresses major themes such as species distributions, community assembly, macroecology, and conservation biogeography.
It delves into the mechanisms driving biodiversity patterns, from local interactions to global environmental changes. Key areas of focus include phylogeography, species distribution modelling, and the impacts of climate change on biodiversity. Indexed in Web of Science and Scopus, Diversity and Distributions is an essential resource for researchers and practitioners in ecology, biogeography, and conservation biology.
The journal seeks submissions that offer novel insights into the causes and consequences of biodiversity patterns. It encourages interdisciplinary approaches and welcomes studies that integrate ecological theory with conservation practice. The journal emphasizes responsible research and innovation in the field. It publishes impactful research that informs conservation efforts.
