Scope
The section Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology welcomes the submission of studies on organismal biology, especially on the interactions between organisms and their biotic and abiotic environment. Areas covered include genetic and environmental effects on development and fitness; selection-mediated changes in the distribution and interactions of species; life-history evolution; sexual selection and courtship; inbreeding avoidance strategies; dominance interactions; mimicry and crypsis; genetic, phenotypic and behavioral responses to predation and parasitism; dispersal; pathogen transmission dynamics; and evolution of clutch sizes, of mating systems, and of reproductive investment. Areas of interest also include behavioral, ecological and evolutionary responses to climate change; introductions of invasive species and habitat alteration; eco-evolutionary dynamics; evolutionary responses to ecological interactions and ecological impacts of evolutionary changes. Studies can be in a field or laboratory setting, and mathematical models and their empirical tests are also welcome. We encourage submissions on integrative and cross-disciplinary research on a wide range of organisms from viruses to vertebrates. Please note that authors submitting work on the population level should consider the specialty section on Population and Evolutionary Dynamics. Authors working on the evolution of social behaviour, should submit to the specialty section on Social Evolution.

PMCID: coming soon for all published articles
Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology welcomes submissions of the following article types: Book Review, Brief Research Report, Correction, Data Report, Editorial, General Commentary, Hypothesis and Theory, Methods, Mini Review, Opinion, Original Research, Perspective, Policy and Practice Reviews, Protocols, Review, Specialty Grand Challenge, Systematic Review and Technology Report.
All manuscripts must be submitted directly to the section Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology, where they are peer-reviewed by the Associate and Review Editors of the specialty section.
Articles published in the section Behavioral and Evolutionary Ecology will benefit from the Frontiers impact and tiering system after online publication. Authors of published original research with the highest impact, as judged democratically by the readers, will be invited by the Chief Editor to write a Frontiers Focused Review - a tier-climbing article. This is referred to as "democratic tiering". The author selection is based on article impact analytics of original research published in all Frontiers specialty journals and sections. Focused Reviews are centered on the original discovery, place it into a broader context, and aim to address the wider community across all of Ecology and Evolution.
