About this Collection
Evolutionary Biology studies the evolutionary processes that generate diversity on earth. In this collection we aim to attract research on understanding how species have managed to evolve and adapt to changing environments. From dissecting the mechanisms that made us humans and our relationships with other organisms, to how other animals, plants, and unicellular species have emerged.
We welcome empirical, theoretical, and computational work, as well as micro- and macro-evolution perspectives. We offer a wide range of research outputs including research articles, brief reports, data notes, method articles, software tool articles, registered reports, reviews, and open letters, among others.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
All article processing charges will be covered centrally by the European Commission.
Open Research Europe requires open access to research data supporting articles under the principle ‘as open as possible, as closed as necessary’. All articles should include citations to repositories that host the data underlying the results, together with any information needed to replicate, validate, and/or reuse the results/your study and analysis of the data. We recognise there may be exceptions due to ethical, data protection, or confidentiality considerations, or because the data have been obtained from a third party and access restrictions apply.
This Collection includes the following Research Spotlights on the articles:
‘Genomic evidence for the parallel regression of melatonin synthesis and signaling pathways in placental mammals’, read it here.
‘Naïve, unenculturated chimpanzees fail to make and use flaked stone tools’, chosen by Guest Advisor Dr Claudio Ottoni, read it here.
‘A genomic exploration of the early evolution of extant cats and their sabre-toothed relatives’, read it here.
