Aims and scope

Journal of Evolutionary Biology is a peer-reviewed, international journal that covers both micro- and macro-evolution of all organisms. The Journal integrates perspectives across molecular and microbial evolution, behaviour, genetics, ecology, life histories, development, palaeontology, systematics and morphology and gives preference to papers that bring together two or more fields.
