We are excited to announce that Microbial Ecology has now become a fully open-access (OA) journal as of January 2024. This means that we will only be publishing articles as Open Access meaning content will be freely available to readers worldwide, enabling the widest possible dissemination and reuse. 

The National Eye Institute invites you to participate in an online symposium, titled “Investigating the Ocular Surface Microbiome: Best Practices for Low-Biomass Microbial Research,” Monday, August 2, 2021, 3-8 p.m. EDT.

Visit our dedicated Coronavirus (COVID-19) Research highlights page (this opens in a new tab), where you will find all papers pertaining to COVID-19 published within Springer Nature journals (whether research or non-research) are either free to access or Open Access.

In this Special Issue, we explore recent significant advancements in the human microbiome space, including looking at novel diseases, understudied populations of people, as well as the small molecules and other signatures produced by the microbes that inhabit the human body.

This Special Issue in Microbial Ecology is dedicated to the interactions of humans, animals and plants, their microbial ecology and how they interact in their shared environments to enable One Health. 

Edited by Michael Schloter (Editorial Board member) and Karen Nelson (Editor-in-Chief)

The article Characterizing Microbial Signatures on Sculptures and Paintings of Similar Provenance (this opens in a new tab) published in Microbial Ecology, May 21^st 2020 has been enjoying press and online coverage.
