Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Molecular data have become indispensible in many fields of biological research. Starting with the accessibility of PCR-methods as well as DNA-sequencing technologies, molecular data have had profound impact. Moreover, reductions of lab costs and availability of new sequencing technologies is no longer a severe limitation in producing molecular data, in contrary, sequencing whole genomes is a matter of few weeks.
This special issue intends to highlight studies dealing with molecular systematic and genetic diversity in Biosystematics, Biodiversity Research, Biogeography, Ecology and Evolution. We intend to put together strong studies that study genetic variation of organisms on local to global scale, evaluate phylogenetical variation in a biosystematical or biogeographical context, focus on evolutionary responses related to genetic variation of populations and species, study adaptive versus neutral genetical variation, or apply genetic diversity measurements in a phylogeographical, ecological or conservation biological context. Apart from theoretical or methodological oriented studies, both, basic research and applied studies are welcome from all groups of organisms.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diversity is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
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.
