Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Advances in molecular techniques have made the genomes of non-model systems readily accessible today, resulting in unprecedented advances in the evolution and conservation of global wild populations. In particular, human-induced ecological changes continue to redraw the distribution of taxa, requiring populations to be continuously monitored as to determine the impacts of such events.
This Special Issue aims at highlighting exemplary work that takes a population and/or landscape genomics approach to answer fundamental questions on (but not limited to) speciation, evolution, ecological genomics, and population genetics/genomics of wild populations. In particular, we are interested in molecular studies attempting to understand the geographical distribution of a species’ genetic diversity, and how it may or may not be adapting to environmental changes.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Animals is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue
- Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
- Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
- Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
- External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
- e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.
