Ecology, Biogeography and Evolutionary Biology of Tropical Ecosystems

Dear Colleagues,

Tropical ecosystems are at risk due to global change. In this Special Issue, we aim to address the critical changes that could affect these ecosystems in the short, middle, and long term. The papers will expose and discuss the impacts of anthropogenic changes, including forest management and conservation strategies and agroecological approaches. The topics may concern ecology and biogeography issues as well. This Special Issue will provide a unique context to discuss the important issues.

To tackle such a major endeavor, we will gather research on all continents and all kinds of ecosystems. In addition, all kinds of organisms will be considered in order to obtain a comprehensive picture of the most major potential changes.
