The foci of Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution are Ecology, Zoology, Evolutionary biology, Habitat and Biodiversity. The journal aims to address concerns in Ecology, specifically in the areas of Ecosystem, Range (biology), Species richness, Climate change and Predation. It emphasizes research on Predation, which includes concerns such as Predator.
The most cited articles cover a variety of subjects, including Ecology, Evolutionary biology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem and Botany. The presentations in the published papers discussing Ecology offer insights in topics such as Predation, Urbanization, Range (biology), Climate change and Habitat. The published papers address concerns in Evolutionary biology which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Ecological niche and Phylogenetic tree.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 5.06% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 21.58% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 7.10% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 13.52% of all publications and 57.79% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring a career in Animal Science and Veterinary fields opens doors to various related online degrees and career paths. Many students expand their skill sets by pursuing related fields such as nursing, dietetics, or specialized animal care careers. For those interested in working directly with animals, discovering careers with animals can provide valuable insights into diverse roles and industry opportunities.
Cost is an important consideration when selecting an online degree program. For individuals aiming to complement their veterinary background with healthcare expertise, exploring the cost of rn to bsn programs helps balance quality education with budget constraints. This is especially relevant for those planning to enter holistic animal care or veterinary nursing.
For professionals seeking advanced academic credentials, pursuing a phd in nursing education offers a pathway to leadership and research roles within animal health and welfare institutions. This degree supports teaching and policy development within veterinary and animal science fields.
Additionally, nutrition plays a crucial role in animal health. Obtaining a master of science in dietetics can enhance one’s expertise in animal dietetics, blending science and care for improved animal nutrition and well-being.
