New Editor | Dan Liang, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Dan Liang to Ecography!
About our new subject editor:
I am an animal ecologist and conservation scientist, currently an Associate Professor in the School of Ecology at Sun Yat-sen University (Shenzhen, China). My work integrates field surveys, quantitative modelling, large-scale data synthesis, and socioeconomic surveys to understand diversity patterns and address conservation challenges in rapidly changing ecosystems. I have been particularly interested in how abiotic and biotic interactions shape species’ ranges across space and time, with a central focus on elevational gradients in subtropical mountains. I also seek to understand the effects of human-induced threats on biodiversity and to evaluate approaches that enhance biodiversity benefits, in order to inform evidence-based conservation and policy-relevant solutions. My study systems mostly involve elevational migrations in mountains and long-distance migrants crossing national boundaries.
Ecography—who are we?
ECOGRAPHY: A Journal of Space and Time in Ecology is an Open Access journal owned by the Nordic Society Oikos.
Our journal strives to understand ecological or biodiversity patterns through space and time. We encourage papers to advance the field of macroecology and biogeography through the development and testing of theory or modern methodology (remote sensing, molecular techniques, AI) or by proposing new tools for analysis or interpretation of ecological phenomena. There are no biases with regard to taxon, biome, or biogeographical area.
Thinking about publishing with us?
Ecography offers an annual E4 Award for early-career researchers
We value ethical standards in science (EDI, Open Access, waivers, accessible data and code, CRediT)
