# Global Ecology and Biogeography (global-ecology-and-biogeography)

## Journal positioning

Global Ecology and Biogeography is a Wiley journal and a leading venue for macroecology and biogeography. Its defining character is scale: it publishes work on global or large-scale patterns of biodiversity and the processes that generate them, where the spatial extent, the analytical approach, and the biological inference jointly carry the contribution. The journal rewards papers that document, explain, or predict broad-scale patterns — species-richness gradients, range dynamics, functional and phylogenetic structure across continents or the globe — and that advance macroecological theory rather than reporting local or site-specific results. Strong spatial-analytical rigor is expected, with explicit attention to the statistical artifacts that arise at macro scales. Readership is the macroecology and biogeography community plus broad-scale conservation and global-change ecologists. This skill is a **fit / venue-selection / re-framing** tool. It does not replace the journal's current official submission guidelines. Before submitting, re-check the live author instructions on the GEB Wiley site.

## When to trigger

- The author names GEB as the target for a macroecological or biogeographic study of global or large-scale patterns of biodiversity.
- A manuscript documents or explains a broad-scale pattern using spatial analyses, and the author is choosing between GEB, Journal of Biogeography, Ecography, and Ecology Letters.
- A paper tests or extends macroecological theory — diversity gradients, range-size rules, body-size patterns, scaling laws — across large spatial extents.
- The author needs GEB's scale, rigor, and spatial-statistics expectations, plus desk-reject criteria, before submission.
