A Call for Systematic Reviews
Description
Biological Conservation publishes the leading research in the discipline of conservation biology. The
journal is globally relevant and international in scope. It publishes articles spanning a diverse range of fields that contribute to
the biological, sociological, and economic dimensions of conservation and natural resource management. Biological Conservation has as
its primary aim 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, and which therefore will be of interest to a broad
international readership. Biological Conservation invites the submission of research articles, reviews (including systematic reviews),
short communications and letters 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. Although the journal's coverage of interdisciplinary topics within conservation biology is highly relevant to scientists at
academic, research and non-governmental institutions, the emphasis on the practical applications of conservation research also provide
essential information for land/resource managers and policy makers charged with protecting biological diversity and ultimately implementing
conservation science into conservation practice.
