Dear international colleagues,

 

First of all, happy holidays everyone!

 

I am writing to you in my role as Specialty Chief Editor representing the editorial team of Frontiers in Forests and Global Change – Pests, Pathogens and Invasions (IF: 4.332). I would like to invite you all to consider submission of research topics or individual research papers. We are specifically interested in regionally focused research topics or articles. For example, topics and papers around pests and pathogens in Southeast Asia, or pests and pathogens in Central Africa, etcetera.

 

Other topics of interest revolve around the issue of invasions by non-native pests and pathogens, specifically the issues of prediction of invaders and target countries/continents, and analyses of introduction pathways, including means of introduction (lives plants for planting, dunnage, etc.) and predominant global trade routes. Other topics around aspects of biotech and machine learning to exploit biological and genetic data are also of high interest.

 

I hope you will consider submitting to the journal soon, and with this I wish you all the best for a successful 2023!

 

Enrico
