AUSTRAL ECOLOGY

Austral Ecology is the premier journal for basic and applied ecology in the Southern Hemisphere. As the official Journal of The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA), Austral Ecology addresses the commonality between ecosystems in Australia and many parts of southern Africa, South America, New Zealand and Oceania. For example many species in the unique biotas of these regions share common Gondwana ancestors. ESA's aim is to publish innovative research to encourage the sharing of information and experiences that enrich the understanding of the ecology of the Southern Hemisphere.Austral Ecology involves an editorial board with representatives from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil and Argentina. These representatives provide expert opinions, access to qualified reviewers and act as a focus for attracting a wide range of contributions from countries across the region.Austral Ecology publishes original papers describing experimental, observational or theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, which are considered without taxonomic bias. Special thematic issues are published regularly, including symposia on the ecology of estuaries and soft sediment habitats, freshwater systems and coral reef fish.

《南方生态学》是南半球基础生态学和应用生态学的主要期刊。作为澳大利亚生态学会(ESA)的官方期刊，《澳大利亚生态学》探讨了澳大利亚与南部非洲、南美洲、新西兰和大洋洲许多地区的生态系统之间的共性。例如，在这些地区独特的生物群中，许多物种有着共同的冈瓦纳祖先。欧空局的目标是发表创新的研究报告，以鼓励分享丰富对南半球生态了解的资料和经验。《南方生态学》的编辑委员会包括来自澳大利亚、南非、新西兰、巴西和阿根廷的代表。这些代表提供专家意见，接触合格的审稿人，并作为吸引该区域各国广泛贡献的一个重点。澳大利亚生态学发表原始论文，描述对陆地、海洋或淡水系统的实验、观察或理论研究，这些研究没有分类偏见。定期出版专题刊物，包括河口生态和软沉积物生境、淡水系统和珊瑚礁鱼类专题讨论会。
