Thematic series

Call for papers

Avian Physiological Ecology
Submission deadline: 30 September 2021
This thematic series will focus on how free-living birds have undergone adaptive changes in their physiology in response to selective pressures imposed by their environment to maximize fitness. We welcome any innovative research articles or updated reviews on aspects of physiological ecology. The coverage includes, but is not limited to: environmental neuroendocrinology, metabolism and thermal biology, comparative physiological ecology, etc.

Avian Evolution and Ecology
Submission deadline: 31 August 2022
Avian evolution and ecology are both constant evolving research topics. In the last 10 years, they have become more close-related than ever. This thematic series aims to reveal the interplay between wild bird evolution and ecology. All research articles or review with innovative ideas on this important topic are welcomed.
