Basic and Applied Ecology (BAAE) is a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that publishes high-quality research that advances both the theoretical foundations and practical applications of ecology worldwide. We welcome original research articles, reviews, meta-analyses, perspectives, and special issues that contribute to the understanding and application of ecology across ecosystems, species, functions, and landscapes.Our scope covers a wide range of ecological topics, including but not limited to:Biodiversity and ecosystem functions and servicesSpecies interactions and multitrophic relationshipsRespons... to global change across ecosystems and latitudesConservatio... ecology and applied ecological solutionsCommunity and population ecologyLandscape and ecosystem ecologyTheoretical ecology and modellingFunctional ecologyEvidence syntheses, reviews, and meta-analysesWe welcome submissions that advance ecological science through both basic/fundamental and applied research. Studies that foster the development of ecological theory and fundamental understanding, as well as those translating ecological insights into actionable recommendations for policy, conservation, and sustainable management, are equally valued. Based on our experience, studies based on clearly described, testable hypotheses and well-replicated design that contribute to novel understanding of basic and applied ecology within and beyond their study area are most likely to be positively reviewed and considered for publication in our journal. We encourage such submissions from traditional ecological disciplines, as well as contributions that integrate multiple ecological disciplines through cross-disciplinary approaches or findings from underrepresented regions or fields. To better understand the types of articles we publish, we invite you to explore our latest issues and consult the Guide for Authors. Submissions not aligned with our guidelines, aims and scope may be rejected without external review.About the Journal and Society: Basic and Applied Ecology is the official journal of the Ecological Society of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland (GfÖ) and was founded in 2000. The GfÖ is an internationally active society that fosters ecological research and knowledge exchange. We welcome contributions from researchers worldwide who are advancing the field of ecology in both theory and practice.For more information on becoming a member of the GfÖ, please contact us at [email protected]

Behavioural Brain Research

ISSN: 0166-4328
5 Year impact factor: 2.8
Impact factor: 2.6

Behavioural Brain Research is an international, interdisciplinary journal dedicated to the publication of articles in the field of behavioural neuroscience, broadly defined. Contributions from the entire range of disciplines that comprise the neurosciences, behavioural sciences or cognitive sciences are appropriate, as long as the goal is to delineate the neural mechanisms underlying behaviour. Thus, studies may range from neurophysiological, neuroanatomical, neurochemical or neuropharmacological analysis of brain-behaviour relations, including the use of molecular genetic or behavioural genetic approaches, to studies that involve the use of brain imaging techniques, to neuroethological studies. The journal considers research in a wide variety of species including invertebrates, vertebrates, and humans. Reports of original research, of major methodological advances, or of novel conceptual approaches are all encouraged. Behavioural Brain Research also considers critical reviews and meta-analyses.Benefi... to authors We provide many author benefits, such as free PDFs, a liberal copyright policy, special discounts on Elsevier publications and much more.

Behavioural Processes

ISSN: 0376-6357
5 Year impact factor: 1.5
Impact factor: 1.3

Behavioural Processes is dedicated to the publication of high-quality original research on animal behaviour from any theoretical perspective. It welcomes contributions that consider animal behaviour from behavioural analytic, cognitive, ethological, ecological and evolutionary points of view. This list is not intended to be exhaustive, and papers that integrate theory and methodology across disciplines are particularly welcome.The quality of research and focus on behavioural processes are the sole criteria for acceptance. Behavioural Processes considers both papers investigating basic behavioural phenomena and behavioural studies of more applied significance. Papers reporting solely on human behaviour may be considered for publication if they relate closely to non-human research within the journal's remit. Authors of papers reporting research on human subjects are invited to contact the editors for advice prior to submission, as they are for papers of all kinds.Behavioural Processes publishes three categories of paper. First, regular Research Papers presenting the results of original experiments or outlining novel theoretical positions. Second, Reviews which summarize the state of knowledge in an area of animal behavioural research. Third, Short Reports which are short communications reporting the outcome of a single experiment in no more than 2000 words and a total of two tables or figures.

Bioactive Carbohydrates and Dietary Fibre is intended to be an international journal focused on dietary fibre, and bioactive carbohydrates (including bioactive polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and glycoproteins. It will include original studies and comprehensive reviews on the primary structure, molecular characteristics including conformation, size and shape, and bioactivities demonstrated by studies using in vitro, cell culture, animal and human clinical trials for understanding the action mechanisms and efficacy of bioactive carbohydrates from plants, fungi, animals and produced by biotechnology.Specif... bioactivities such as reducing serum cholesterol, modulating blood glucose and insulin levels, fermentability in the gastrointestinal track, anti-tumor, anti-inflammatory, immune regulatory and anti-oxidant activities demonstrated by these bioactive carbohydrates are the main focus of this journal. It also covers the areas of interaction of dietary fibres, oligosaccharides, polysaccharides and glycoproteins with food matrices which may enhance or alter their efficacy, shelf-life stability of the bioactivities.Papers will cover such issues as: • Structural characterization of bioactive polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and glycoproteins • Conformation and molecular characteristics of bioactive polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and glycoproteins • Bioactivities of polysaccharides including: anti-cancer, immune modulation, anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant etc • New anti-cancer polysaccharides from herbs • Recent advances in bioactive polysaccharides, oligosaccharides and glycoproteins • Analysis and physicochemical characterization of soluble and insoluble dietary fibre • Effects of dietary fibre on post-prandial blood glucose and/or insulin levels • Effect of dietary fibre on blood total and/or LDL cholesterol levels; • Effects of dietary fibre on gut function and ecology of microflora • Role of a diet rich in soluble fibre in reducing body weight • Development of dietary fibre industry • Animal and clinical trial studies • Updates on regulatory changes and legal constraints on nutritional dietary fibre and other food hydrocolloidsThe subject borders on medicine but is not a medical subject. The common factor for published papers is “bioactivity” and it's influence on health. Origin, husbanding, extraction, characterization, purification, cell culture, animal and clinical trials leading towards a medical or food supplemental applications will be considered. To be considered for this journal the research needs to cross-over from chemistry/biochemist... into biological investigation, with opportunities too for those who work on immune systems to contribute.Types of contribution: • Original research papers (full papers and short communications) • Invited reviews • Opinion pieces • Perspective commentaries.
