Nature Ecology & Evolution
This journal is interested in the full spectrum of ecological and evolutionary biology, encompassing approaches at the molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem levels, as well as relevant parts of the social sciences.
Small female reproductive tracts supercharge sperm evolution
Sperm-female interactions drive rapid evolutionary changes in sperm size across the animal tree of life – but only in small bodied species
A metric for spatially explicit contributions to science-based species targets
We know that there are a great many species at risk of extinction, and it is easy to feel overwhelmed by the scale of action needed to conserve them. Where do we start tackling the pressures that are threatening these species, and encourage as many sectors as possible to act?
A timeframe for human evolution
A precise timeframe for human evolution is fundamental to contextualise key events that occurred during the evolution of our lineage. Our new phylogenetic study dates specific speciation events and provides important insights into body mass and encephalization trends in human evolution.
