Austral Ecology

Journal Title：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.

《Austral Ecology》是南半球基础和应用生态学的顶级期刊。作为澳大利亚生态学会 (ESA) 的官方期刊，《Austral Ecology》探讨了澳大利亚和南部非洲、南美洲、新西兰和大洋洲许多地区生态系统的共性。例如，这些地区独特生物群落中的许多物种都拥有共同的冈瓦纳祖先。ESA 的目标是发表创新研究，鼓励分享信息和经验，丰富对南半球生态学的了解。

《Austral Ecology》的编辑委员会由来自澳大利亚、南非、新西兰、巴西和阿根廷的代表组成。这些代表提供专家意见，接触合格的审稿人，并作为吸引来自该地区各国广泛投稿的焦点。

《Austral Ecology》发表原创论文，描述对陆地、海洋或淡水系统的实验、观察或理论研究，这些研究被认为没有分类学偏见。定期出版特别专题，包括有关河口和软沉积物栖息地生态学、淡水系统和珊瑚礁鱼的研讨会。

Austral Ecology创刊于2000年，由Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵盖环境科学 - 生态学全领域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所属细分领域中专业影响力一般，过审相对较易，如果您文章质量佳，选择此期刊，发表机率较高。平均审稿速度 较慢,12-24周 ，影响因子指数1.6，该期刊近期没有被列入国际期刊预警名单，广大学者值得一试。
