Diversity and Distributions publishes reviews and primary research papers on a very wide range of subjects relating to biodiversity. The journal accepts papers dealing with all taxa, ranging from bacteria to plants and animals, and all types of ecosystems. Every level of ecological understanding is covered, from molecular-level, through single-species studies, to ecosystem-, biome- and global-level perspectives. Diversity and Distributions takes the lead in the important field of invasion biology, a new domain at the interface of ecology and biogeography. Contributions address such fundamental issues as the determinants of diversity at different spatial and temporal scales; the ecology of coexistence; the dynamics of range limits; the links between elements of biodiversity and ecosystem function; the determinants of rates of speciation and extinction; and the concept of "keystone" taxa.
