International in scope and interdisciplinary in approach, Frontiers focuses on current ecological themes and environmental challenges. Frontiers’ target audience – in terms of both authors and readers – includes ecologists, environmental scientists, and other professionals in allied disciplines, especially those with interests in applied, problem-oriented science. Frontiers prides itself on publishing articles that are written clearly and concisely for a broadly multidisciplinary global audience, and thus seeks articles prepared with our audience in mind. Frontiers prioritizes diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice (DEIJ) and is working to fulfill ESA’s DEIJ goals in its practices of manuscript solicitation, submission, review, publication, and promotion.

With cutting-edge content that is timely, interesting, and accessible, even to those reading outside their area of expertise, Frontiers has a broad appeal and is relevant to all users of ecological and environmental science, including policy makers, resource managers, students, and educators. Frontiers welcomes submissions on topics relevant to ecological science, and especially encourages interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary work that promotes integrative consideration or applications of ecological science in the practical demands of biodiversity and ecosystem conservation, climate change mitigation and adaptation, education, and other challenges of our time.
