Food Webs

ISSN: 2352-2496
Impact factor: 1.7

The journal Food Webs publishes original research articles, focused reviews and short communication papers examining the species interactions that structure ecological communities. This interdisciplinary journal encompasses both experimental and theoretical research that seeks a mechanistic understanding of the influence of these interactions on the composition of communities and functioning of ecosystems. As such, articles focus on a multitude of areas within the area of food web biology. These include, but are not limited to, the following: • simple trophic relationships and cascading effects between levels of a community • multi-species interactions and the structuring of populations and communities • effect of competition and co-existence of species in defining trophic relationships • effect of perturbation on species and interaction pathways • quantifying direct and indirect effects on populations • stability and productivity of food webs • empirical and theoretical assessment of food web structure and complexity • models explaining food web structure and trophic relationships Food Webs will consider papers from terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems, without any bias for the taxa being studied or techniques used

The relevant groups and specific examples of parasites include those listed below. Protozoa: Acanthamoeba, Balantioides (Balantidium), Blastocystis, Cryptosporidium, Cyclospora, Cystoisospora, Giardia, Entamoeba, Sarcocystis, Toxoplasma, Naegleria, Trypanosoma cruzi.

Pertinent food includes products of animal or plant origin that are wild or domesticated, and consumed by people. Animals and plants from both terrestrial and aquatic sources are included, as well as studies related to potable and other types of water used by humans, and which serve to harbor, propagate, or disseminate the relevant parasites. Evidence of the emergence of relevant parasites and interactions among domestic animals, wildlife, people, and the environment (One Health focus) are of interest. The impact of such parasites on the health and welfare of humans is viewed as very important and within scope of the journal. Manuscripts with scientifically generated information on associations between food and waterborne parasitic diseases and lifestyle, culture and economies are also welcome. Studies involving animal experiments must meet the International Guiding Principles for Biomedical Research Involving Animals as issued by the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences. The primary form of publication in the journal is a full-length paper describing scientifically-sound original research studies. Shorter publications include Brief Communications of original research findings. Special Issues on interesting topics, or emerging themes may be solicited by the journal, or proposed by authors for publication. Topical review articles or reports based on keynote presentations at conferences or workshops will be considered.

Fungal Biology Reviews

ISSN: 1749-4613
5 Year impact factor: 7.2
Impact factor: 6

Published by Elsevier on behalf of The British Mycological Society Fungal Biology Reviews is an international journal published by the British Mycological Society (est. in 1896), providing a comprehensive platform for high-quality scientific review articles aiming to cover all aspects of fungal biology. Encompassing both fundamental and applied research, the journal welcomes a wide range of areas of research, including fungal diversity, ecology, fitness, evolution, physiology and biochemistry, genetics and molecular biology, cell biology, developmental biology, reproduction and interactions such as symbiosis and pathogenesis. It also looks forward to publishing overviews of methodological aspects of fungal biology, for example, fungal genomics and other high-throughput -omic techniques. Fungal Biology Reviews embraces the study of the kingdom of Fungi and diverse organisms that were recognized as fungi, including lichens, microsporidia, and fungi-like protozoans, such as Oomycetes (water molds) or Myxomycetes (slime molds). We welcome submissions based on the canonical model fungi such as Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Schizosaccharomyces pombe, Aspergillus nidulans, and Neurospora crassa, and are open to other and newly emerging experimental systems. The journal would like to become a podium where views on fungal biology or new hypotheses in fungal biology are shared in so-called opinion papers. We are ready to consider reviews on plant pathology (and the study of endo- and epiphytes), the rhizosphere, bulk soil microbiology, the impact of climate change, as well as mutualistic and parasitic interactions. We are interested in geomycology, dispersal strategies and adaptations, hyphal and spore biomechanics, and biophysics. Additionally, Fungal Biology Reviews aims to explore topics dealing with all aspects of biotechnology, encompassing novel molecules and products, including the use of fungi for the biological control of pests (biofungicides) and plant growth promotion (biofertilizers), bioremediation, biomineralization, fungal materials, fermentation, fungal cell factories, mycoprotein, fungi for food, medicinal fungi, biodegradation. Finally, the Journal would like to summarize the developments concerning clinical mycology, drug resistance, and antimicrobial compounds, as well as other hazards such as food spoilage and the production of mycotoxins.

Fungal Interactions

ISSN: 2773-2150

Published by Elsevier on behalf of The British Mycological Society Fungi are at the forefront of many world issues: soil health and fertility, plant productivity, waste decomposition and treatment, biodeterioration, bioremediation, and biofuel production among others. Their activities directly influence ecosystem function and human well-being in multiple positive and negative contexts. Therefore, understanding their biology and the way they interact in natural and synthetic habitats is paramount in order to fully understand their roles and functions, and how such findings can inform new tools and biotechnologies to benefit mankind. Fungal Interactions is an open access international journal that publishes high-quality peer reviewed research papers covering a range of scientific areas where interactions between fungi and any biotic or abiotic factors occur. We are looking for contributions that highlight the importance of any fungal species in these interactions and that which contribute fundamental or applied knowledge to this research area. Areas of interactions covered by this journal will include, but are not limited to, fungal interactions with other fungi, microorganisms (e.g. bacteria, archaea, cyanobacteria), viruses, algae, plants, and animals (including arthropods, insects, humans and other mammals), as well as in aquatic and terrestrial natural and synthetic habitats, responses to environmental perturbations, e.g. climate change, stress responses, organic and inorganic pollutants, and involvement in element transformations and nutrient cycling. As a multidisciplinary journal we aim to publish papers that span a large number of research areas and at different research scales from molecular (e.g. molecular communication and sensing, biosynthesis and biological activity of secondary metabolites, genome evolution) up to ecological interactions (global shifts of fungal plant pathogens, lichens, mycorrhizas, biocontrol). By publishing research about these interactions in a single high-quality journal, we aim not only to create a forum for fundamental research but also for the development and discussion of new fungal-based biotechnological, agricultural and applied solutions that will contribute to solving the great challenges that mankind will be facing in the coming years.
