New Editor | Lauren Talluto, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Lauren Talluto to our Ecography editorial board! She is an ecological modeller and macroecologist, specialised in statistics and ecological modelling and working at spatial scales ranging from (meta-) ecosystem-level to continental and global analyses.
New Editor | Eduardo Fuentes-Lillo, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Eduardo Fuentes-Lillo to our Ecography editorial board! He is a plant ecologist interested in understanding how biological invasions, environmental gradients, microclimate, and human disturbance shape biodiversity patterns in mountain and high-latitude ecosystems.
New Editor | Evangelina Schwindt, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Evangelina Schwindt to our Ecography editorial board! She is a marine ecologist studying the patterns, processes, and consequences of marine and estuarine invasions. Based on the coast of Patagonia, Argentina, her work spans coastal ecosystems, including ports and marine protected areas.
New Editor | Oscar Alejandro Pérez-Escobar, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Oscar Alejandro Pérez-Escobar to our Ecography editorial board! He is an evolutionary biologist and plant systematist at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, who studies how orchids diversify across space and time.
Cover | What does the white-tipped sicklebill tell us about connectivity and gene flow across the Andes?
Our 2026 issue 3 cover depicts a white-tipped sicklebill, photographed by Paula Carrera Levy.
Cover | A Century of Declining Survival in Shorebirds
A global review of more than 100 shorebird species reveals that annual survival has declined significantly since 1980, particularly among adults, highlighting growing conservation concerns and the need for long-term monitoring. Photo by Veronika Švestková.
Cover | Climate in the Hills, People in the Plains
The photo features an endemic damselfly (Archineura incarnata) of eastern China, and the largest species within its family in Odonata, perching at the water's edge and waiting for a mate. Photo credit: Haomiao Zhang and Ruibin Song.
Cover | Three new deciduous species of Berberis from India
The cover image shows the inflorescence of Berberis tawangensis B.Hajong & P.Bharali. It is one of three new Berberis species described in the article by Hajong et al.
Cover | SCAPE 2024 Pollination Ecology
Joint special issue with Journal of Pollination Ecology: SCAPE 2024 Pollination Ecology
Journal Update | Journal of Avian Biology launches a new article type
To help launch our new article type, ‘Methods and Tools’, we have put together a Virtual Issue of method-focused Research Articles or Short Communications that have been published in the journal during the last three years.
Cover | The Shape-Shifting Plants of Temporary Ponds
A study across Morocco found that differences in growth and reproduction along a climate gradient are driven largely by phenotypic plasticity rather than local adaptation. Photo by Laïla Rhazi.
New Editor | Billur Bektaş, subject editor for Ecography
We welcome Billur Bektaş to our Ecography editorial board! She is a plant ecologist interested in understanding the effects of climate change on plants from individuals and populations to entire communities.
Cover | Shifting Ages, Shifting Skies
The cover photo features a Magnolia Warbler in migration in Maine. The photo complements the manuscript, which explores how age- and species-specific differences in migration speed and phenology drive spatiotemporal shifts in the age structure of migrant communities during fall migration.

Special Issue | Guest editor interview: new frontiers in migration physiology
We asked the guest editors Tiia Kärkkäinen, Pablo Salmón and Barbara Helm how the issue came together, what discoveries that surprised them most, and why the field remains wide open for the next generation of curious minds.
Cover | Red Deer in a Warming Caspian
As an endangered subspecies in Iran, the Caspian red deer faces increasing pressure from poaching, climate change, habitat fragmentation, and restricted access to suitable refuges, underscoring the urgent need for effective conservation.
Editor’s Choice | Citizen Science Reveals Hidden Migration Timelines
The editor’s choice for our May issue is “Climatic variation affects seasonal survival of an alpine bird species” by Mckinlay et al.
Cover | How do disease outbreaks reshape the cost of migration?
Our 2026 issue 2 cover depicts a rough-legged buzzard/hawk, photographed by Neil Paprocki.
E4 award papers over the years
The E4 Award is given every year to an early-career research scientist who writes an exceptional Review manuscript. The winner receives a €1000 cash prize and the runner-up receives €500. Our early-career E4 award papers are more downloaded and cited than the average research paper for Ecography.
Cover | First Come, First Served on Hawaiʻi’s Coral
On Hawaiian reefs, a field experiment shows that early-arriving competitors and predators can strongly shape who gets to live on coral colonies. Photo by Erik Brush.
Cover | Modelling LULC effects on biodiversity: a review of practices and risks
This month’s cover photo features a marsh, which is one of the last visible signs of a palaeochannel of the Rhone river, now dedicated to host the Eurasian bittern (Botaurus stellaris) among other conservation targets. Photo by Arnaud-Willm-Tour du Valat.
