Announcement: Biotropica's New Subject Editors 2025

Abstract

Biotropica, the flagship journal of the Association for Tropical Biology and Conservation, is a highly regarded source of original research on the ecology, conservation, and management of all tropical ecosystems, and on the biology and evolution of tropical organisms. We aim for timely, fair, transparent, and constructive reviews and editorial decisions on the 400–500 manuscripts received yearly. We value a geographically diverse Editorial Board with broad expertise in tropical taxa and ecological, evolutionary, and conservation research, reflecting our diverse authorship and readership.

In 2024, we ran our second open call for service on our Editorial Board. This year, we selected seven new Subject Editors from a highly qualified pool (Figure 1). Their expertise includes taxa such as mammals, birds, epiphytes, and micro-organisms, and conceptual areas, such as habitat fragmentation, pollination, frugivory, restoration, and plant–soil interactions. Our new Subject Editors represent a geographically diverse group of institutions in Brazil, India, Mexico, Poland, and the United States. Please join us in welcoming our new Subject Editors and thanking those who are rotating off the Editorial Board, which now comprises 64 members based in 20 countries. The open call for editorial service will be an annual call, so please consider serving on our Editorial Board in the future.
