Biodiversity in Different Regions: Exploring Global Ecology Sustainability

Dear Colleagues,

Different global regions are at high risk of drastic environmental changes. The climate is warming and many species are in decline. Pollution is also affecting ecosystems and human health, with risks of sea level changes, disease, food security and climate extremes. Narrowly adapted and endemic species now face extinction as climate change impacts biodiversity, agricultural production and food security. Understanding how climate has shaped ecosystems and how drivers of environmental change (including human population growth and consumption, energy use, land use changes and pollution) impact biological systems are fundamental to global ecology sustainability.

This Special Issue will highlight recent research on how ecological changes have impacted biodiversity in different regions of the world across many scales —from individual organisms to populations, communities and ecosystems through reviews and original contributions addressing the following themes:

• The molecular basis of genetic diversity and genetic adaptations to local environmental conditions
• Rapid evolutionary and genetic changes and species’ adaptive responses
• Biodiversity monitoring in captivity and nature for conservation
• Climate change and challenges to zero hunger and food security

We look forward to receiving your contributions.

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 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.

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-anonymized peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Sustainability is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
