Conservation Biology This journal is a bimonthly peer-reviewed scientific journal of the Society for Conservation The number of article downloads in 2014 exceeded 900,000.

Conservation Biology is a journal of the Society for Conservation Biology published six times a year (February, April, June, August, October, December) by Wiley-Blackwell. In 2014, its impact factor, a measure of the frequency with which the “average article” in a journal has been cited in a given period, was 4.16. According to the 2013 Journal Citation Report from Thomson Reuters, Conservation Biology ranked 5th among 43 in journals that focus on biodiversity and conservation and 22nd among 141 in journals with an ecological focus. Such high rankings across multiple disciplines affirm Conservation Biology as one of the most respected scientific journals in the field and reflect the work of a dedicated and talented editorial board. Manuscript Submissions: Conservation Biology welcomes submissions that address the science and practice of conserving Earth's biological diversity. We encourage submissions that emphasize issues germane to any of Earth's ecosystems or geographic regions and that apply diverse approaches to analyses and problem solving. The conservation relevance of articles published in Conservation Biology transends the particular ecosystem, species, and situation described. Subscription Information: Members of the Society may subscribe to Conservation Biology at steeply discounted rates. Online subscriptions for members from developing countries are free with membership. Institutional subscriptions to Conservation Biology are managed by Wiley.

Asp vipers are commonly mentioned in popular fiction novels, but what actually are they? 📚🐍

This month's features a male European asp viper (Vipera aspis) camouflaged among leaves in an alpine forest. 🍂Climate change is having major impacts on snakes such as the asp viper and driving shifts in global snake biodiversity, yet large-scale assessments across taxonomic, phylogenetic, and genetic dimensions remain limited, hindering effective conservation. Wan et al. (2026) constructed species distribution models for 1,201 species to project range dynamics under different climate scenarios.🐍 Range shifts were widespread, especially in the Palearctic, and species in tropical forests and montane habitats were disproportionately at risk of range contraction and shifts. You can find their feature article in this month's edition of !
