SUBJECT: Frontiers of Biogeography Open Access journal Frontiers of Biogeography is published by the International Biogeography Society (www.biogeography.org) and the University of California's eScholarship system (http://escholarship.org/uc/fb).
Our hybridization of the Society Journal and Open Access publishing models enables Frontiers of Biogeography to provide both exceptionally low publication fees ($200 per article, with waiver or partial-waiver options) and free access to all content for all readers. Volume 4 issue 1 is now available at http://escholarship.org/uc/search?entity=fb;volume=4;issue=1 and we encourage you to submit Opinion, Perspective, or Review Articles and Research Letters on the geographical variation of life at all levels of organization. This includes, but is not limited to, studies on temporal and/or evolutionary variation in any component of biodiversity if they have a geographical perspective, as well as studies at more local scales if they have a spatially-explicit component. Papers may study aerial, freshwater, marine, subterranean, or terrestrial biogeography of extant and/or extinct taxa spanning the entire tree of life and all time periods. A sample of the articles published in Frontiers of Biogeography includes: Losing time? Incorporating a deeper temporal perspective into modern ecology Felisa A. Smith & Alison G. Boyer (2012) Frontiers of Biogeography v.4 (1) http://escholarship.org/uc/item/3bg6583c Individual variation and weak neutrality as determinants of forest diversity Brian Beckage et al. (2012) Frontiers of Biogeography v.3 (4) http://escholarship.org/uc/item/5xv4k3tr Musings on the Acropolis: terminology for biogeography Samuel M. Scheiner (2011) Frontiers of Biogeography v.3 (2) http://escholarship.org/uc/item/4jr46958 We encourage you also to consider the journal for advertising events, jobs, and other matters relevant to ecologists, evolutionists and biogeographers. Frontiers of Biogeography has exceptionally low rates ($50) for advertising by institutions, which includes a quarter page advertisement in the online open access journal, complemented by free additional feeds to Facebook and Twitter communities, and the option for a more detailed free posting on the IBS Blog; links to all these resources are provided from the IBS homepage (http://www.biogeography.org).
