All Sections
Animal Diversity
This section deals with all aspects of animal diversity, from evolution, to phylogeny, adaptation, and conservation, from the species up to community interactions with ecosystems. As Diversity is a generalist journal, specialized or local studies will be evaluated only if discussion lead...
Biodiversity Conservation
This Section deals with all aspects of biodiversity conservation with special emphasis on active conservation and the development of new methods to solve human conservation problems, improving the rational use of the biodiversity by humankind. The scope of this Section is wide and multidisciplina...
Biodiversity Loss & Dynamics
Natural ecosystems are currently threatened by a range of impacts, from regional climate change to point-source pollution and everything in between—for example, habitat fragmentation or invasive species. One of the most visible effects of these impacts is the loss of taxonomic diversity, fr...
Biogeography and Macroecology
Biogeography attempts to document and understand patterns of biodiversity changes through space and time. Macroecology focuses on the relationships between organisms and their environment, which involves characterizing and explaining statistical patterns of abundance, distribution, and diversity....
Chemical Diversity and Chemical Ecology
This section has two components, one aimed at deepening our understanding of the chemical diversity in nature and the other focused on the role of chemical compounds in mediating interactions within and between organisms.
C...
Freshwater Biodiversity
Freshwater ecosystems cover a tiny percentage of the Earth’s surface but are essential to all living organisms and represent a surprisingly large fraction of global biodiversity. They are also strongly impacted by humans as they constitute the basis of our essential needs, providing water, ...
Marine Diversity
This section covers all topics related to marine molecular, organismic and ecosystem diversity. Research fields of interest include, but are not limited to:
Marine Organismic Diversity and Diversity Preservation:
Systematics, taxonomy and phylogeny
Morphology of marine speci...
Microbial Diversity and Culture Collections
Environmental threats such as chemical pollution, overexploitation of forests, and urban growth still continue. In addition, with the defrosting of the permafrost, microbial diversity and ecosystems are also changing. Rising sea levels in the Pacific and Oceania are also altering the microbial ex...
Phylogeny and Evolution
This Section deals with all aspects of the evolution and phylogeny of organisms, both living and extinct. As Diversity is a generalist journal, specialized or local studies will be evaluated only if discussion leads to/illustrates general questions/conclusions in relation with evol...
Plant Diversity
The Plant Diversity section deals with all topics concerning plant diversity, from the evaluation of plant diversity (at the three levels: morphological, biochemical, and molecular) to its conservation (in situ and/or ex situ); aspects of population genetics and genotype by environmental interact...
