Published across terrestrial, freshwater and marine systems, from the individual organism to the whole ecosystem.
Shore to kelp bed
A conceptual illustration prepared for the journal, read across the waterline: conifers and a heron on the rock, gulls above the water, and beneath it a baleen whale, a swarm of small prey, kelp, urchins and sea stars. Plant and animal ecology meet in the same frame, which is where the journal's subject begins.
