Ecology and Diversity is an international journal that deals with ecological processes, interactions & characteristics and mechanisms across multi-scales and multi-perspectives under the background of diversity. Particularly, it focuses on ecological systems in relation to their biodiversity, environmental & geographic diversity, and social & economic diversity. Manuscripts submitted to Ecology and Diversity generally should include both of the following:

• substantive diversity-sourced ecological science (especially interdisciplinary research and development, preferably combined with social sciences), and

• substantive analyses and discussions on the interactions within or among ecological system components and other systems.

Preference is given to manuscripts that address whole-level issues, via integration of conceptual, empirical and dynamic modelling approaches.
