General Information

Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment offers a variety of peer-reviewed articles, including Research Communications, Reviews, and Letters, as well as Concepts and Questions – a series where authors can delve into more exploratory work. No matter the type, Frontiers articles all have two things in common: clear, accessible language and broad interdisciplinary appeal. Frontiers also contains editorials, commentaries, occasional special features, and our popular EcoPics natural-history series. Our readership includes scientists, resource managers, decision makers, teachers and educators, and others. ESA members all receive our attractive, colorful print issues ten times a year, in addition to online access to current and past volumes.

Frontiers includes:

• Short, high-impact research communications of broad interdisciplinary appeal
• Peer-reviewed, synthetic review articles on all aspects of ecology, the environment, and related subjects
• Concepts & Questions – papers showcasing new ecological ideas
• Editorials and letters
• Commentaries – short science-based opinion pieces
