Author Guidelines
1. SUBMISSION
Thank you for your interest in Austral Ecology. Please read the complete Author Guidelines carefully prior to submission. Note that submission implies that the content has not been published or submitted for publication elsewhere except as a brief abstract in the proceedings of a scientific meeting or symposium.
Austral Ecology now offers Free Format submission for a simplified and streamlined submission process allowing researchers to submit their manuscript in their preferred formatting style at original submission. See details in Section 4. PREPARING YOUR MANUSCRIPT FOR SUBMISSION.
Manuscripts should be submitted online at https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/aec.
The submission system will prompt you to use an ORCiD (a unique author identifier) to help distinguish your work from that of other researchers. Click here to find out more.

If you are considering sending your Article to Austral Ecology, but are unsure of the quality of your manuscript, you can send a preprint to Peer Community in Ecology for an initial assessment. Peer Community in Ecology is a community of recommenders playing the role of editors who recommend unpublished articles based on peer-reviews to make them complete, reliable and citable articles. Evaluation and recommendation by PCI Ecology are free of charge.

We look forward to your submission.
2. AIMS AND SCOPE
Austral Ecology is the premier journal for fundamental and applied ecology in the Southern Hemisphere. Austral Ecology publishes original papers describing experimental, observational or theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, which are considered without taxonomic bias. We welcome ecologically relevant studies that incorporate physiological, genetics, life-history, and behavioural perspectives for organismal studies; through to community and biogeochemical studies when addressing ecosystem- and landscape-scale questions.
Special thematic issues are published regularly, including those resulting from symposia and workshops.
The editorial board of Austral Ecology involves an international group of representatives from Africa, Oceania, and South America. These representatives provide expert opinions, access to qualified reviewers and act as a focus for attracting a wide range of contributions.
As the official Journal of The Ecological Society of Australia (ESA), Austral Ecology addresses the commonality among ecosystems across the globe, with a special focus in ecosystems in the southern hemisphere. 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.

La ESA tiene como objetivo publicar investigación innovadora para estimular la integración de información y experiencias que enriquezcan nuestra comprensión de la ecología del hemisferio sur.
3. MANUSCRIPT CATEGORIES AND REQUIREMENTS
Papers routinely are rejcted from Austral Ecology for not following the guidelines presented below. Please read them carefully; and also read the following editorial: Andrew N. R. (2020) Design flaws and poor language: Two key reasons why manuscripts get rejected from Austral Ecology across all countries between 2017 and 2020. Austral Ecology. 45, 505-9.
Word limits do NOT include abstracts, references, tables, figures, acknowledgements and declarations of interest.
Research Article
Original papers describing experimental, observational or theoretical studies on terrestrial, marine or freshwater systems, which are considered without taxonomic bias. Papers are expected to outline a single aim, and then be developed through a series of objectives/questions, which are back up by well-grounded hypotheses.
