About the Journal
MABIC is dedicated to exploring marine biodiversity, its changes, impacts, and conservation strategies. The journal's scope includes but not limit to the following topics:
- Marine Biodiversity and Dynamics:
- Taxonomy, genetic diversity, and studies of endemic and endangered species.
- Shifts in species distribution, population dynamics, and effects of habitat fragmentation.
- Ecosystem Functions and Services:
- Research on key marine ecosystems like coral reefs, mangroves, and seagrasses.
- Ecosystem-based management and conservation planning.
- Threats to Marine Biodiversity:
- Impacts of overfishing, bycatch, habitat destruction, pollution, and invasive species.
- Effects of climate change, including rising sea temperatures, ocean acidification, and sea level changes.
- Conservation Strategies and Solutions:
- Effectiveness of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), habitat restoration, and sustainable resource use.
- Innovative conservation policies and practices.
- Innovative Technologies and Methodologies in Marine Research:
- Advances in research methodologies and data collection technologies, including remote sensing, GIS applications, and citizen science.
- Surveys, censuses, and mapping of marine species and habitats.
- Statistical methods and innovative approaches in marine ecology.
- Emerging Issues and Trends:
- New and emerging threats to marine biodiversity.
- Advances in understanding the ecological roles of lesser-known species.
- Emerging challenges and trends in marine conservation.
- Human Impacts and Socio-ecologic Aspects:
- The impact of human activities on marine ecosystems and biodiversity.
- Sustainable use of marine resources and public awareness on marine conservation.
- Case Studies and Practical Applications:
- Specific case studies of species, habitats, or regions, and their practical implications for conservation and habitat restoration.
- Extreme Marine Ecosystems and organisms’ adaptation
- Deep-sea ecosystems
- Chemosynthetic ecosystems
- Polar ecosystems
- Other extreme habitats and ecosystems
