Editors-in-Chief: Amanda Bates and Richard Field
Global Ecology and Biogeography (GEB) is a journal of macroecology. Our articles examine and offer insight into the patterns of ecological systems. We are distinguished for our studies that use macroecological methods, comparative analyses, meta-analyses, spatial analyses, reviews and modelling to arrive at conceptual conclusions.
Our journal is relevant to ecologists and biogeographers globally, and is not limited to local areas or taxa. We welcome investigations into the impacts of human activity on ecological systems.

Online publication from 2024
Global Ecology and Biogeography will be published in online-only format effective with the 2024 volume. This is a proactive move towards reducing the environmental impact caused by the production and distribution of printed journal copies and will allow the journal to invest in further innovation, digital development, and sustainability measures. All color images will now be reproduced digitally and published free of charge. Printed copies may be obtained through a print-on-demand service.
