Publications

Ecology publishes cutting-edge basic ecological research covering a broad array of subject matter using both experimental and theoretical approaches. Ecology remains the most-cited journal in the ecological sciences.

Each issue of Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment offers a variety of peer-reviewed articles, including Research Communications, Reviews, and Letters, as well as Concepts and Questions – a series in which people can float new ideas. No matter the type, Frontiers articles all have two things in common: clear, accessible language and broad interdisciplinary appeal. Each issue also contains breaking news (domestic and international), editorials, special features, and our popular EcoPics natural-history series – in fact, something for everyone. Our readership ranges from students to full professors, but also includes resource managers, decision makers, educators, and others.

Ecological Monographs is the ESA’s journal for comprehensive and integrative papers that contribute to the fundamental understanding of ecological principles. These empirical and theoretical studies establish new benchmarks in the field and define directions for future research.

Issues in Ecology uses commonly-understood language to report the consensus of a panel of scientific experts on issues related to the environment. The audience for this journal includes decision-makers at all levels for whom an objective presentation of the underlying science will increase the occurrence of ecologically-informed decisions. Issues in Ecology aims to build public understanding of the importance of the products and services provided by the environment to society.
