Call for papers: Eco-evo-devo
The Editors of BMC Developmental Biology and BMC Ecology and Evolution welcome submissions to the cross-journal special issue on eco-evo-devo, the effect of the environment of development and evolution. Please click the above link for further information and to submit to the collection.
The special issue is open for submissions.
BMC Series Focus Issues
March: Rare diseases
With the 28th of February marking World Rare Diseases day, the BMC Series this month looks at highlighting research on the Rare diseases that together affect around 10% of the population. Read the full collection of articles here.
