- Biological
Invasions
Editor in Chief: James T. Carlton
The first journal
that aims to pull together research on biological invasions from many different
sub-disciplines
Biological Invasions publishes research papers
on the patterns and processes of biological invasions (both
human-mediated introductions and natural range expansions) in
terrestrial, freshwater, marine and brackish ecosystems. Papers
concerning: the ecological consequences of invasions relative to
alterations in community ecosystem structure (including energy flow,
biodiversity, and invasion-mediated extinction), the factors that
influence inoculation, establishment, and persistence of invasions,
the mechnaisms that control the abundance and distribution of invasive
species, biogeography, genetics, dispersal vectors, and the
evolutionary consequences of invasions in both historical and
geolgical time are especially encouraged, as are analytical syntheses
and overviews of invasive biotas. Also of interest are papers with
theoretical bases on biocontrol and on the release of genetically
modified organisms as they illuminate the science of biological
invasions as well as scholarly papers on management and policy issues
as they relate to conservation programs and the global amerlioration
or control of invasions. The journal will consider proposals for
special issues resulting from conferences or workshops on invasions.

- Diversity and Distributions
- A Journal of Biological Invasions and
Biodiversity
Editorial Office: diverse@botzoo.uct.ac.za
Diversity and Distributions publishes reviews
and primary research papers on a very wide range of subjects relating to
biodiversity. The journal accepts papers dealing with all taxa, ranging from
bacteria to plants and animals, and all types of ecosystems. Every level of
ecological understanding is covered, from molecular-level, through
single-species studies, to ecosystem-, biome- and global-level perspectives.
Diversity and Distributions takes the lead in the increasingly important field
of invasion biology, a new domain at the interface of ecology and biogeography,
Contributions address such fundamental issues as the determinants of diversity
at different spatial and temporal scales; the ecology of coexistence; the
dynamics of range limits; the links between elements of biodiversity and
ecosystem function; thedeterminants of rates of speciation and extinction; and
the concept of "keystone" taxa. Articles on invasion biology are
especially welcome.
