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》是南半球基礎(chǔ)和應(yīng)用生態(tài)學(xué)的頂級期刊。作為澳大利亞生態(tài)學(xué)會 (ESA) 的官方期刊，《Austral Ecology》探討了澳大利亞和南部非洲、南美洲、新西蘭和大洋洲許多地區(qū)生態(tài)系統(tǒng)的共性。例如，這些地區(qū)獨(dú)特生物群落中的許多物種都擁有共同的岡瓦納祖先。ESA 的目標(biāo)是發(fā)表創(chuàng)新研究，鼓勵分享信息和經(jīng)驗(yàn)，豐富對南半球生態(tài)學(xué)的了解。

《Austral Ecology》的編輯委員會由來自澳大利亞、南非、新西蘭、巴西和阿根廷的代表組成。這些代表提供專家意見，接觸合格的審稿人，并作為吸引來自該地區(qū)各國廣泛投稿的焦點(diǎn)。

《Austral Ecology》發(fā)表原創(chuàng)論文，描述對陸地、海洋或淡水系統(tǒng)的實(shí)驗(yàn)、觀察或理論研究，這些研究被認(rèn)為沒有分類學(xué)偏見。定期出版特別專題，包括有關(guān)河口和軟沉積物棲息地生態(tài)學(xué)、淡水系統(tǒng)和珊瑚礁魚的研討會。

Austral Ecology創(chuàng)刊于2000年，由Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd出版商出版，收稿方向涵蓋環(huán)境科學(xué) - 生態(tài)學(xué)全領(lǐng)域，此期刊水平偏中等偏靠后，在所屬細(xì)分領(lǐng)域中專業(yè)影響力一般，過審相對較易，如果您文章質(zhì)量佳，選擇此期刊，發(fā)表機(jī)率較高。平均審稿速度 較慢,12-24周 ，影響因子指數(shù)1.6，該期刊近期沒有被列入國際期刊預(yù)警名單，廣大學(xué)者值得一試。
