BMC Ecology

Call for images: BMC Ecology Image Competition 2018

We are calling for ecologists around the world to submit their images to the 6th annual BMC Ecology image competition 2018.

BMC Ecology now accepts Registered Reports

From August 24th, BMC Ecology will begin accepting a new type of article: Registered Reports. BMC Ecology is the first ecology journal to consider this innovative article format; please read our blog where we discuss what benefits we believe it can offer to ecologists.
