Phylogeny and Evolution
A section of Diversity (ISSN 1424-2818).
Section Information
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 evolution and phylogeny. Both descriptive studies and more theoretical papers are acceptable.
The following list includes some of the topics covered by the Section:
- Evolutionary biology
- Phylogenetic reconstruction
- Evolution of ecosystems
- Palaeontology
- Palaeobotany
- Micropalaeontology
- Invertebrate palaeontology
- Vertebrate palaeontology
- Palaeobiology
- Fossil record
- Macroevolution
- Molecular phylogeny
- Ancient DNA
- Evolutionary biogeography
- Palaeobiogeography
- Island biogeography
- Extinctions
- Evolution of behavior
- Evolutionary patterns
- Mechanisms of evolution
- Factors of evolutionary change
- Climate change and evolution
