AoB PLANTS is pleased to announce a new special issue: Using Ideas from Behavioural Ecology to Understand Plants
Editor: James F. Cahill (University of Alberta, Canada) The 10 papers in this Special Issue focus on how application of principles from animal behaviour can improve our ability to understand plant biology and ecology. The goal is not to draw false parallels, nor to anthropomorphize plant biology, but rather to demonstrate how existing and robust theory based upon fundamental principles can provide novel understanding for plants. AoB PLANTS is an open-access, nonprofit journal established in 2010 and published by Oxford University Press (http://aobpla.oxfordjournals.org/). The journal has a strong focus on environmental and evolutionary biology and its current impact factor is 2.273. All papers published in this special issue are freely available online at http://bit.ly/1mhnsri.
