Journal Title：Austral Ecology

Austral Ecology is the premier journal for basic and applied ecology in the Southern Hemisphere. As the official Journal of The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA), Austral Ecology addresses the commonality between ecosystems in Australia and many parts of southern Africa, South America, New Zealand and Oceania. For example many species in the unique biotas of these regions share common Gondwana ancestors. ESA's aim is to publish innovative research to encourage the sharing of information and experiences that enrich the understanding of the ecology of the Southern Hemisphere.

Austral Ecology involves an editorial board with representatives from Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, Brazil and Argentina. These representatives provide expert opinions, access to qualified reviewers and act as a focus for attracting a wide range of contributions from countries across the region.

Austral Ecology publishes original papers describing experimental, observational or theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, which are considered without taxonomic bias. Special thematic issues are published regularly, including symposia on the ecology of estuaries and soft sediment habitats, freshwater systems and coral reef fish.

Austral Ecology 是南半球基础和应用生态学的主要期刊。作为澳大利亚生态学会 (ESA) 的官方期刊，《澳大利亚生态学》探讨了澳大利亚与南部非洲、南美、新西兰和大洋洲许多地区的生态系统之间的共性。例如，这些地区独特生物群中的许多物种都有共同的冈瓦纳祖先。 ESA 的目标是发表创新研究，鼓励分享信息和经验，丰富对南半球生态的理解。

Austral Ecology 的编辑委员会成员来自澳大利亚、南非、新西兰、巴西和阿根廷。这些代表提供专家意见、接触合格的审稿人，并作为吸引该地区各国广泛贡献的重点。

Austral Ecology 发表原创论文，描述关于陆地、海洋或淡水系统的实验、观察或理论研究，这些研究被认为没有分类偏见。定期出版专题专题，包括关于河口生态和软沉积物栖息地、淡水系统和珊瑚礁鱼类的专题讨论会。
