Journal overview

This journal has ceased (2015).

Coevolution is an online only, fully open access Journal.


The Journal will cover all research topics elucidating the coevolution of two or more biological partners. It will include three sections:

1) Molecular coevolution section including, but not limited to, research fields such as receptor-ligand coevolution, codon-anticodon coevolution, bacteriophage-bacterial host coevolution, and virus-host resistance coevolution.

2) Organismal coevolution section including, but not limited to, research fields such as host-parasite coevolution, symbiont-host coevolution, predator-prey coevolution, plant-pollinator coevolution, sexual conflict and male-female coevolution, and culture-human coevolution.

3) Theoretical models of coevolution, including new methods for studying coevolution.

Studies establishing co-speciation and co-phylogeny may be included as related subjects in the Journal.

The Article Publication Charge (APC) is US $1000 / £625 / €833, with a discounted rate of US $500 / £313 / €417 for members of the Coevolution Society.

Readership
There is no journal that explicitly covers the area of coevolution in general or molecular coevolution in particular.

Research publications on coevolution are scattered over many journals, especially those in molecular coevolution. However, these publications all share a set of distinctive features that set them apart from other evolutionary studies. There is a strong need for coevolutionary research to have its own publication venue. The Journal, Coevolution, will fill that void.
Recent availability of high-throughput data and their associated databases have created an unprecedented opportunities for molecular coevolutionary studies, which include receptor-ligand coevolution, codon-anticodon coevolution, bacteriophage-bacterial host coevolution, etc.

Organismal coevolution such as host-parasite coevolution, plant-pollinator coevolution, symbiont-host coevolution, and predator-prey coevolution not only remain academically strong, but also invigorated by the elucidation of their molecular details.

Granting agencies are receiving more and more grant applications in the area of molecular coevolution.
