Focus and Scope
The Animal Environment Journal aims to provide a comprehensive platform for the dissemination of research and knowledge related to the interactions between animals and their environments. The journal covers a broad range of topics that are crucial for understanding the complexities of these relationships and promoting conservation, animal welfare, and sustainable management of ecosystems.
Scope of the Journal:
- Wildlife Ecology and Conservation: This area focuses on the study of wildlife species, their habitats, and the ecological processes that support them. Research on biodiversity, species interactions, population dynamics, and the impact of human activities on wildlife is highly encouraged.
- Habitat Preservation and Restoration: The journal emphasizes the importance of conserving and restoring natural habitats. Articles may explore the effects of habitat loss, fragmentation, and the effectiveness of conservation strategies such as protected areas, habitat corridors, and rewilding initiatives.
- Impact of Environmental Changes on Animals: This section examines how environmental changes, such as climate change, pollution, and habitat destruction, affect animal populations and their habitats. Research on the adaptive responses of animals to these changes, as well as the implications for conservation, is welcomed.
- Domestic Animal Welfare and Management: The journal recognizes the significance of domestic animals in human societies and their welfare in various environments. Studies on the health, behavior, and management of livestock, pets, and working animals are encouraged.
- Animal Behavior and Adaptation: Understanding how animals adapt to their environments is key to their survival. The journal invites research on animal behavior, including foraging, mating, migration, and social interactions, with a focus on how these behaviors are influenced by environmental factors.
- Human-Animal Interactions: The journal explores the complex relationships between humans and animals, including the cultural, economic, and psychological aspects. Research on the impacts of human activities on animal behavior, welfare, and conservation is particularly valued.
- Innovative Research and Methodologies: The journal is committed to advancing the field by publishing cutting-edge research and innovative methodologies. This includes the use of new technologies and interdisciplinary approaches to study animal-environment interactions.
Focus of the Journal:
The Animal Environment Journal focuses on promoting a multidisciplinary approach to understanding the interactions between animals and their environments. The journal seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice by encouraging research that has practical applications in conservation, animal welfare, and environmental management.
The journal also aims to foster collaboration between researchers, practitioners, and policymakers, providing a platform for the exchange of ideas and knowledge that can inform policy and decision-making. By focusing on both fundamental and applied research, the journal contributes to the development of strategies that address the challenges faced by animals and their environments in a rapidly changing world.
