Young Researchers in Marine and Freshwater Biology

Dear Colleagues,

In this Special Issue, we aim to highlight the fresh perspectives of early-career researchers in the field of Marine and Freshwater Biology. The senior author(s) of each contribution should be (a) the first or last author as well as the corresponding author and (b) within 10 years of completing their Ph.D. (or equivalent) or becoming an assistant professor/being on tenure track. We invite authors to submit papers on key topics in aquatic biology, including species' adaptations to environmental change, ecosystem dynamics, and impacts of human stressors like pollution and climate change. Studies on conservation strategies, physiological resilience, and novel tools such as eDNA and remote sensing are also welcome.

Authors featured in this Special Issue will have the opportunity to be nominated for next year's Young Investigator Award.

Prof. Dr. John R. Turner
Guest Editor
