  • Dispersal in small organisms

    CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: November 1, 2024
    This special issue will revisit the theme on the 50th anniversary of Daniel Otis Wolfenbarger’s Factors Affecting Dispersal Distances of Small Organisms with contributions on behavior, ecology, genetics, and evolution that deal with factors promoting and restricting dispersal.

  • Morphological responses to climate change

    CALL FOR PAPERS | Deadline: November 30, 2024
    UN SDG 13 (Climate Action); SDG 14 (Life Below Water); SDG 15 (Life on Land)
    We invite contributions that identify morphological changes across different organismal groups, explore the mechanisms underlying the changes, and/or investigate their consequences for species’ physiology, survival, and reproduction; studies that examine the biotic and abiotic factors that promote or mitigate such morphological responses are also encouraged, as they play an important role in identifying the characteristics of organisms that make them more likely to evolve morphologically in response to climate change.

  • Fitness Effects of Mutations

    CALL FOR PAPERS | TOPICAL COLLECTION

    We have brought together ideas from theoretical, molecular, field, computational and various experimental approaches across organisms and systems; and seek additional submissions that demonstrate mutational effects on phenotypes, particularly fitness phenotypes, that are further enhanced by genomic, theoretical computational advances, and that take these problems into ecological settings.

  • Reviews and Perspectives

    CALL FOR PAPERS | ARTICLE TYPES

    Evolutionary Ecology is excited to invite prospective authors, especially Students and Early Career Researchers (this opens in a new tab), to submit Review and Perspectives papers on any topic related to the interface of ecology and evolution (i.e., research that seeks to explain the ecology of organisms in the context of evolution, or patterns of evolution as explained by ecological processes).

  • Developments in the study of poison frog evolutionary ecology

    FORTHCOMING SPECIAL ISSUE | Early 2024

    We sought submissions that highlighted recent developments on poison frog (sensu lato) research and other topics including, but not limited to, sexual selection, predator-prey interactions, behaviour, adaptation, life history, disease ecology, genetic and phenotypic diversity, ecophysiology, response to anthropogenic factors, etc., and on taxa such as dendrobatids, Mantella, Brachycephalus, certain bufonids (i.e., Atelopus, Melanophryniscus, Rhinella), and Pseudophryne.

  • In Review: Preprint Service

    AUTHOR SERVICE
    Evolutionary Ecology, in partnership with Research Square, now offers In Review: a journal-integrated preprint service.

  • Students & Early Career Researchers

    AUTHOR INCENTIVE
    As a student or ECR (defined as being within one year of award of their PhD degree) listed as first author of any article type accepted, you will receive a voucher for free access to any Springer publication in eBook form (up to a maximum value of 250 Euros/US dollars, and maximum one per year) in perpetuity, and your article will be made freely accessible for 8 weeks after online first publication.
