Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution is proud to announce the launch of its newest section – “Biogeography and Macroecology“, led by Specialty Chief Editor Peter Convey of the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), UK.

“Pressures faced by global diversity today are unprecedented, so it has never been more urgent that we develop our understanding at all scales of the distribution of biodiversity and controls of its changing patterns.” – Peter Convey, Chief Editor

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution is part of Frontiers’ open-science platform and research network.

The Biogeography and Macroecology specialty section was created to meet the growing demand of research being conducted in this area.

“This new Section, and Open Access publication, will bring research on Biogeography and Macroecology to a wider audience far beyond the purely academic realm at this critical time.” – Peter Convey, Chief Editior
