# Nature Ecology & Evolution (nature-ecology-and-evolution) ## Journal positioning Nature Ecology & Evolution is Springer Nature's primary specialist journal for research across the full breadth of ecology and evolutionary biology, from molecular evolution and phylogenetics through population biology, community ecology, macroecology, and global biodiversity dynamics. The journal targets conceptual advances that reshape how the field understands ecological or evolutionary processes — not incremental empirical additions to a well-established paradigm. Its readership spans evolutionary biologists, ecologists, conservation scientists, and palaeobiologists; a paper must be legible and significant beyond its focal system or taxonomic group. 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 Springer Nature Nat Ecol Evol site. ## When to trigger - The author names Nature Ecology & Evolution as the target venue for an ecology or evolutionary biology study. - A manuscript makes a conceptual claim about ecological processes, evolutionary mechanis

What does the nature-ecology-and-evolution skill do?

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add brycewang-stanford/Awesome-Journal-Skills --skill nature-ecology-and-evolution --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 909 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.
