Evolutionary Ecology - Virtual Archive of Past Featured Papers
These featured papers have been selected by the Editor-in-Chief as being of particular interest to readers of Evolutionary Ecology, either because they address an issue of broad ecological interest, or a system that has not previously been well studied. Featured papers are also in part chosen on the basis of how often they have been viewed in the first few weeks after appearing online. Also we strive to feature the work of early career researchers – as part of our Student & Early Career Researchers incentive scheme.
We invite you to explore this virtual archive of past featured papers, and enjoy view-only access via Springer Nature SharedIt content-sharing initiative.
