Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The year 2024 marks the 15th anniversary of Diversity. We would like to take this opportunity to express our sincerest thanks to our readers, innumerable authors, anonymous peer reviewers, editors, and all the people working in some way for the journal who have made substantial contributions to our development for years. Without your support, we would never have made it this far. We are delighted and proud to celebrate this milestone with a series of Special Issues and events.
A Special Issue, entitled “15th Anniversary of Diversity—Biodiversity, Conservation and Ecology of Animals, Plants and Microorganisms”, will be launched as part of this celebration. This is intended to be a collection of high-quality research articles and reviews focusing on biodiversity concepts and applications, biodiversity assessment, and biodiversity preservation of animals, plants and microorganisms.
Submissions include, but not are limited to, the following topics:
- Evolution and ecology;
- Environmental DNA;
- Systematics, taxonomy and phylogeny;
- Microbial genetic resources;
- Biodiversity conservation and reservation.
We aim to publish significant contributions in this collection.
