Description:
Biological Conservation is an international leading journal in the discipline of
conservation biology. The journal publishes
articles spanning a diverse range of fields that contribute to the biological, sociological, and economic dimensions of
conservation
and
natural resource management. The primary aim of
Biological Conservation is the publication of high-quality papers
that advance the science and practice of conservation, or which demonstrate the application of conservation principles for natural resource
management and policy. Therefore it will be of interest to a broad international readership.
Biological Conservation invites
the
submission of research articles, reviews (including systematic
reviews and perspectives), short communications and letters to the
editor
dealing with all aspects of conservation science, including theoretical and empirical investigations into the consequences of human actions
for the diversity, structure and function of terrestrial, aquatic or marine ecosystems. Such papers may include quantitative assessments
of extinction risk, fragmentation effects, spread of invasive organisms, conservation genetics, conservation management, global change
effects on biodiversity, landscape or reserve design and management, restoration ecology, or resource economics.
The journal's coverage
of interdisciplinary topics within conservation biology is highly relevant to scientists at academic, research and non-governmental institutions.
The journal also provides practical applications of conservation research for land/resource managers and policy makers charged with protecting
biological diversity and ultimately implementing conservation science into conservation practice.
Biological Conservation is an affiliate
publication of the Society for Conservation Biology (SCB). SCB members can obtain a
personal
subscription to this journal through the Society.
