Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
There has been a recent and rapid increase in the number of publications dealing with marine diversity, and thus there is a growing need to integrate all this new information without overlooking what has been published in the past. Review papers are essential for unifying information and can help to discover and point out gaps in our knowledge. Therefore, for this Special Issue, we invite review papers on multidisciplinary topics of marine diversity that bridge organismic diversity and molecular diversity. There is no restriction on the length of the papers. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish overviews in their research field with as much detail as possible. Examples are: organismic diversity and diversity preservation; systematics, taxonomy, and phylogeny; integrated morphological and genetic diversity and its conservation; global change effects on marine biodiversity; fragmentation effects; invasive organisms; conservation management; patterns of past and present marine biodiversity; species richness patterns over environmental gradients; artificial and disturbed environments and ocean sprawl. Before you plan to submit a manuscript, please contact the editors to find out whether your suggested topic is relevant for this Special Issue.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
