CANDOLLEA
Scope & Guideline
Cultivating Insights in Ecology and Evolution.
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Taxonomic Research and Species Description:
The core aim of CANDOLLEA is to provide comprehensive taxonomic studies that include the description of new species, revisions of existing taxa, and the establishment of nomenclature for plants, particularly from biodiversity hotspots. - Conservation Biology:
The journal emphasizes the importance of conservation, often publishing research that assesses the conservation status of rare or endangered species, highlighting the need for protective measures. - Geographical Focus on Biodiversity Hotspots:
A significant scope of CANDOLLEA is its focus on plant diversity in specific regions, particularly Madagascar, Southeast Asia, and South America, reflecting the journal's commitment to documenting and understanding flora from these critical areas. - Historical and Herbarium Studies:
CANDOLLEA also values historical botanical research, including studies on historical herbarium specimens and contributions to plant taxonomy from historical figures, which provide context to current botanical knowledge.
Trending and Emerging
- Increased Focus on Endemic Species:
Recent publications highlight a growing trend towards the discovery and documentation of endemic species, particularly from Madagascar and New Caledonia, underscoring the urgency of understanding biodiversity in these regions. - Conservation Status Assessments:
There is an emerging trend of incorporating conservation assessments within taxonomic studies, as seen in papers that not only describe new species but also evaluate their conservation status, which is crucial for biodiversity preservation. - Integration of Historical Context in Taxonomy:
The integration of historical research into contemporary taxonomic studies is on the rise. This trend reflects a broader interest in understanding the historical context of plant classification, which informs modern taxonomy. - Collaboration with Online Repositories:
The journal is increasingly focusing on the importance of digitalization and online repositories for botanical data, which enhances accessibility and promotes collaborative research across the global botanical community.
Declining or Waning
- General Flora Studies:
There seems to be a declining emphasis on broader flora studies that do not focus on specific taxa or conservation status. Many recent papers concentrate on detailed taxonomic revisions rather than comprehensive surveys of plant communities. - Non-endemic Species Research:
Research on non-endemic or widely distributed species has decreased. The journal's recent publications tend to favor studies on endemic species, particularly those unique to Madagascar and other biodiversity hotspots. - Morphological Studies without Taxonomic Implications:
Morphological studies that do not lead to taxonomic revisions or new species descriptions are less frequently published. The journal is increasingly prioritizing research that contributes directly to taxonomy and nomenclature.
