Conservation Letters: A journal of the Society for Conservation Biology is an online-only scientific journal publishing empirical and theoretical research with significant implications for the conservation of biological diversity. The journal welcomes submissions across the biological and social sciences – especially interdisciplinary submissions – that advance pragmatic conservation goals as well as scientific understanding. Manuscripts will be published on a rapid communications schedule and therefore should be current and topical. Research articles should clearly articulate the significance of their findings for conservation policy and practice. Three types of article are published in Conservation Letters:
* Letters: novel findings with high relevance for practice or policy
* Mini-Reviews: overviews of emerging subjects that merit urgent coverage or succinct syntheses of important topics that are rarely encountered in the mainstream literature
* Policy Perspectives: brief essays for a general audience on issues related to conservation and society.
Conservation Letters welcomes manuscripts in all biomes (marine, terrestrial, and freshwater), ecosystems, and cultural settings, and will strive for balanced coverage of each. This has been added to Green Files Subject Tracer™ Information Blog.
