Evolutionary Biology
Evolutionary Biology studies the evolutionary processes that generate diversity on earth. In this collection we aim to attract research on understanding how species have managed to evolve and adapt to changing environments. From dissecting the mechanisms that made us humans and our relationships with other organisms, to how other animals, plants, and unicellular species have emerged.
We welcome empirical, theoretical, and computational work, as well as micro- and macro-evolution perspectives.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Biogeography
- Conservation Biology
- Evo-devo
- Evolutionary Biology, Development and Morphology
- Evolutionary Genetics and Genomics
- Experimental Biology
- Human Evolution
- Molecular Evolution
- Paleobiology
- Phylogenomics
- Population Biology
- Theoretical Biology
