EcoEvoDevo

In 2001, Scott Gilbert introduced the concept of Ecological developmental biology as the effect of the environment influencing the establishment of a phenotype. The field has taken its time to grow and define what really undermines Ecological development and now nearly two decades later, a new niche of Eco-evo-devo has expanded its reach and continues to grow, getting ecologists, developmental and evolutionary biologists to think of the environmental impact on growth and sustenance of life. In such exciting times, to recognise this new growing field of research, BMC Developmental biology, BMC Ecology, BMC Evolutionary biology, and EvoDevo jointly present the collection on ecological and evolutionary developmental biology (Eco-evo-devo for short). This series is a collection of primary research articles and any methods that researchers wish to establish to this exciting and growing field. The collection is open for submissions. Please submit directly to the relevant journal, stating in your cover letter that it is for the “Ecological and evolutionary developmental biology” collection. Alternatively you can email your pre-submission queries to the Editors (ecology and evolutionary biology queries should be sent to alison.cuff@biomedcentral.com; developmental biology queries should be sent to akila.sridhar@springernature.com; evodevo queries should be sent to sarah.shokouhbeen@springernature.com). The special issue is open for submissions. To submit to BMC Developmental Biology, click here. To submit to BMC Ecology and Evolution*, click here. To submit to EvoDevo, click here.
