Conservation Physiology

Aims & Scope

Conservation Physiology is an online only, fully open access journal published on behalf of the Society for Experimental Biology.

Biodiversity across the globe faces a growing number of threats associated with human activities.

Conservation Physiology publishes research on all taxa (microbes, plants and animals) focused on understanding and predicting how organisms, populations, ecosystems and natural resources respond to environmental change and stressors.

Physiology is considered in the broadest possible terms to include functional and mechanistic responses at all scales.

We also welcome research towards developing and refining strategies to rebuild populations, restore ecosystems, inform conservation policy, and manage living resources.

We define conservation physiology broadly and encourage potential authors to contact the editorial team if they have any questions regarding the remit of the journal.

Key topics covered by the journal include: Understanding the influence of anthropogenic disturbance, and of variation in habitat quality, on organism condition, health and survival.

Providing a mechanistic/functional understanding of the effect of anthropogenic environmental change on organisms; the use of physiological knowledge to develop mechanistic models for species distributions Evaluating stress responsiveness and environmental tolerances relative to environmental change (including global warming and ocean acidification).

Understanding the adaptation of physiological processes to environmental variation (e.g. studies on thermal adaptation among populations).

Understanding the optimal environmental conditions for ex-situ preservation of endangered species (captive breeding, seed bank protocols for storage and regeneration, tissue culture for plant species or genotypes that are difficult to regenerate from seeds).Etc.
