New Special Issue: Ecological Effects of Environmental Change

Edited by: Marcel Holyoak and Michael Hochberg

Following on from the symposium on Ecological Effects of Environmental Change, held in Paris, June 2012, Ecology Letters has published its first Special Issue, which covers the diverse ecological effects of climate change. The CNRS and Ecology Letters sponsored-symposium held the aim that major contributors to the ecological effects of environmental change present and discuss their latest findings. This exciting Special Issue contains new invited Reviews and Syntheses and Ideas and Perspectives papers about the ecology of environmental change from leading researchers in the fields of global change and climate change.

From the BBC:
'Environmental change 'triggers rapid evolution', based on Ecology Letters paper Eco-evolutionary dynamics in response to selection on life-history

2011 IMPACT FACTOR - Ecology Letters is still the number one ecology journal, with a result of 17.557!
