Global Ecology and Biogeography
www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/geb
Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) has evolved into a journal of macroecology, broad in scope, but focusing on the study of large spatial and broad taxonomic-scale patterns in the ecological properties of species assemblages, along with global environmental change and island biogeography. The journal features provocative personal perspectives, short research letters, full-length research articles, and research reviews.
Journal of Biogeography
www.blackwellpublishing.com/journals/jbi
The Journal of Biogeography is a leading international journal of biogeography, focusing primarily on historical biogeography and ecology. It is known for its controversial guest editorials, themed sections, major research papers on both animal and plant biogeography, and Special Issues, such as BIOME 6000.
Other Journals
Ecology Letters
http://www.blackwellpublishing.com/journal.asp?ref=1461-023X&site=1
Ecology Letters is a forum for rapid publication of the most novel research in ecology. Manuscripts relating to the ecology of all taxa, in any biome and geographic area are considered. The journal publishes concise papers that merit urgent publication by virtue of their originality, general interest and their contribution to new developments in ecology.
Many other major journals have emphasis on macroecological issues, including The American Naturalist, Nature, and Ecography
