# Ecology Letters (ecology-letters) ## Journal positioning Ecology Letters is a Wiley journal published in association with the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS), and it is one of the highest-impact general ecology venues worldwide. Its defining character is concision paired with conceptual ambition: papers are short by ecological-journal standards, and brevity is enforced to force authors to state a single clear idea and defend it rigorously. The journal rewards work that advances ecological theory, reveals a general principle across systems, or integrates theory and data in a way that reframes how ecologists think about a process — not comprehensive species inventories or site-specific natural history. Readership is the broad ecology community, including evolutionary ecologists, macroecologists, and theoretical biologists. 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 Ecology Letters Wiley site. ## When to trigger - The author names Ecology Letters as the target venue for a concise, conceptually driven ecology p

What does the ecology-letters skill do?
Use when targeting Ecology Letters (Ecol Lett) or deciding whether an ecology manuscript fits this high-impact short-format venue. Encodes the journal's fit, framing, method-and-evidence bar, house style, official-submission re-check, and desk-reject heuristics.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill ecology-letters --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills, a repository with 984 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
