Polar Biology

Call for Papers - Special Issue on Biotically-mediated nutrient transfer (see Journal Updates page for submission information)

Polar Biology is a focal point for biologists working in polar regions. It is also of interest to scientists working in biology, ecology and physiology in general, as well as in oceanography and climatology related to polar life.

Polar Biology publishes Research papers, Reviews, Brief Reports, Correspondence and Comments that present results of studies on plants, animals, and micro-organisms of ocean, land and freshwater habitats in polar and subpolar regions of both hemispheres from a wide range of topics:

• Taxonomy/ Biogeography
• Life History
• Spatio-temporal Patterns in Abundance and Diversity
• Ecological Interactions
• Trophic Ecology
• Ecophysiology/ Biochemistry of Adaptation
• Biogeochemical Pathways and Cycles
• Ecological Models
• Human Impact/ Climate Change/ Conservation
