Ecology and Evolution is the peer reviewed journal for rapid dissemination of research in all areas of ecology, evolution and conservation science. The journal gives priority to quality research reports, theoretical or empirical, that develop our understanding of organisms and their diversity, interactions between them, and the natural environment.

Verified Reviews
Note: Verified reviews are sourced from across review platforms and social media globally.
Posted on October 20, 2021, the major revision comments were given on November 28th. The revised version was submitted on February 2, 2022, and minor revision comments were given on March 15th. The revised version was submitted on April 4th, and it was accepted on April 19th.

During this period, there were two sets of review comments. The first set of comments was extremely positive, while the second set provided numerous suggestions for modifications and offered some suggestions for the methodology. After the major revision, the first set of comments was not reviewed again, and the second set of comments expressed satisfaction with the modifications and provided a few minor revision suggestions.

Overall, the editor seemed responsible, and the reviewers were professional. They were also familiar with the aspects of my work.

I saw comments mentioning that the pending part took a long time. A senior colleague of mine has been waiting for about six months without any updates.

The second submission was accepted, and the overall speed was acceptable. It was submitted in early December, underwent major revisions on January 9th, and returned in early March. It received basic acceptance in early April, and then went through minor revisions before being formally accepted on May 10th. In total, it took almost half a year, mainly because the revisions took two to three months. There are editors in China who are friendly and helpful. The reviewers' comments were constructive, and the quality of the article improved significantly after the modifications. This journal does not place too much emphasis on impact factor and will try to find the strengths of the articles for acceptance. The authors are friendly. Hopefully, the influence of this journal will continue to grow.
