Diversity and Distributions is a journal of conservation biogeography. We publish papers that deal with the application of biogeographical principles, theories, and analyses (being those concerned with the distributional dynamics of taxa and assemblages) to problems concerning the conservation of biodiversity. We seek papers that address key issues, hypotheses or theories of wide interest from a conservation perspective. Papers must have a strong conservation focus.The focus of the journal is the biogeography and ecology of diversity and distributions. Appropriate topics include: innovative applications or methods of species distribution modeling; paradigms, models and frameworks for conservation planning and risk assessment; and the influence of global change, including climate change, land use change and invasive species, on species distributions and range boundaries.Diversity and Distributions makes provision for full-length research papers and reviews as well as short essays (up to 2000 words) considering biodiversity from a particular disciplinary, regional, political, or other standpoints ('Biodiversity Viewpoints'), and short items (up to 1000 words) of general interest with respect to biodiversity ('Biodiversity Letters').

《多樣性與分布》是一本保護(hù)生物地理學(xué)雜志。我們發(fā)表的論文涉及生物地理學(xué)原理、理論和分析(涉及分類群和組合的分布動(dòng)態(tài))對生物多樣性保護(hù)問題的應(yīng)用。我們尋求的論文，解決關(guān)鍵問題，假設(shè)或理論的廣泛興趣從保護(hù)的角度。報(bào)紙必須有很強(qiáng)的保護(hù)重點(diǎn)。該雜志的重點(diǎn)是生物地理學(xué)和生態(tài)學(xué)的多樣性和分布。適當(dāng)?shù)闹黝}包括:物種分布模型的創(chuàng)新應(yīng)用或方法;養(yǎng)護(hù)規(guī)劃和風(fēng)險(xiǎn)評估的范例、模型和框架;以及全球變化，包括氣候變化、土地利用變化和入侵物種對物種分布和范圍邊界的影響。《多樣性和分布》提供了完整的研究論文和評論，以及從特定學(xué)科、區(qū)域、政治或其他角度考慮生物多樣性的短文(不超過2000字)(“生物多樣性觀點(diǎn)”)，以及與生物多樣性有關(guān)的一般感興趣的短文(不超過1000字)(“生物多樣性信函”)。
