Welcome to the future site of the new journal CONSERVATION BIOGEOGRAPHY. Conservation science and biogeography are fundamentally multidisciplinary. Conservation biogeography particularly focuses on distributions and patterns at large temporal and spatial scales, although fine-scale studies are crucial to enable the interpretation of patterns at larger scales.
The scope of this journal extends beyond the strict boundaries of large scales with the goal of bridging knowledge gaps. Research applications may span from on-the-ground focal studies of species over landscapes to pan-global studies of large-scale processes and changes, region-wide monitoring, and management (ecosystems, protected areas, and populations).
The journal will bridge the gap between pure and applied research and management. An important goal is to improve the accessibility of research results - we are working to make our article format appealing, our content of the highest standards, and our topics of broad interest to promote dialogue among academia, conservation scientists, managers, and communities at the same tables.
We are currently in development and will be posting updates on this site. If you are interested in participating, please contact G. Ibarguchi.Thank you for visiting!

> JOURNAL SCOPE
The journal will welcome studies that include a biogeographic component (e.g. spatial analyses, scales from regions to landscapes or site-level studies, species distributions, and others) and theoretical or empirical studies that include investigations of traits through time and/or space (e.g. phenotypic traits, landscape ecology and genetics, phylogeography, adaptation, phenology, behaviour, ecological data, movement and migration, and others). Studies can include distribution patterns that relate to species or that may influence species (e.g. contaminants, signatures from stable isotopes and trace elements, habitat changes, niche shifts, remote sensing, modeling and forecasting change, and others). Investigations of areas of endemism, centres of diversification, large-scale metapopulation dynamics, shifting pathogen, plant-pollinator or predator-prey distributions, and of speciation across landscapes can be included. Papers that include human communities in ecosystems, habitat impacts, or shifting urban landscapes will be welcome. |
