The journal focuses largely on the fields of Ecology, Zoology, Biodiversity, Genus and Ecosystem. Research on Ecology presented in Neotropical Biodiversity focuses, in particular, on Habitat, Polylepis, Habitat destruction, Species richness and Fauna. Zoology research featured in Neotropical Biodiversity incorporates concerns from various other topics such as Forensic science, Predation and Molecular phylogenetics.
The Biodiversity study featured in Neotropical Biodiversity draws parallels with the field of Threatened species. The in-depth study on Threatened species also explores topics in the intersecting field of Agroforestry. The field of Botany is the anchor for the Genus studies presented in Neotropical Biodiversity.
Studies in Ecosystem and Diversity (politics) are the key highlights in the journal. The Hylidae study presented in it encompasses related topics like Scinax and also examines its connection to subjects such as Dominant frequency. The Taxonomy (biology) study tackled is a key component of adjacent topics in the area of Pristimantis.
The published articles investigate studies in Ecology, Biodiversity, Ecosystem, Environmental protection and Invertebrate. The published articles hold forums on Biodiversity that merge themes from other disciplines such as Conservation status and Species richness. The journal articles explore topics in Ecosystem which can be helpful for research in disciplines like Agroforestry and Threatened species.
The journal mainly deals with areas of study such as Ecology, Zoology, Polylepis, Ecosystem and Tree species. Amazon rainforest, Herbivore, Rosaceae, Biodiversity and Water quality are all subfields of Ecology research that were featured in Neotropical Biodiversity. While Zoology is the focus of it, it also provided insights into the studies of Predation and Molecular phylogenetics.
Research in Habitat fragmentation and the interrelating topic of Habitat destruction, Fragmentation (computing), Genetic analysis, Genetic diversity and Gene were among the subjects of interest in the Polylepis studies discussed in the journal. It facilitates discussions on Ecosystem that incorporate concepts from other fields like Elevation, Restoration ecology, Woodland and Biota. While Neotropical Biodiversity focused on Tree species, it was also able to explore topics like Anthropocene, Environmental niche modelling and Effects of global warming.
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 Neotropical Biodiversity (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 Neotropical Biodiversity (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, 6.38% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 36.36% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 22.73% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 29.55% of all publications and 11.36% 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.

(2021)Studying Ecology and Evolution opens doors to diverse career opportunities, including roles in environmental science, conservation, and biology-related health fields. For students interested in combining ecological knowledge with healthcare, exploring programs such as online sonography programs can provide specialized skills for diagnostic imaging careers. These programs often offer flexible online options that complement a strong science background.
Meanwhile, those seeking foundational healthcare training might consider an online ASN program. This degree bridges the gap between ecological health concepts and practical patient care, essential for environmental health professionals working in clinical settings.
For advanced learners, pursuing a PhD healthcare can enhance leadership opportunities within environmental health policy and management. Such degrees help students influence ecological health initiatives at institutional and governmental levels.
Finally, shorter, specialized credentials like a 1 year PMHNP program online offer focused training in psychiatric mental health nursing, a growing field that intersects with environmental and evolutionary studies in understanding human health and behavior.
