Journal of Biogeography

The Journal of Biogeography is a peer-reviewed scientific journal in biogeography that was established in 1974. It covers aspects of spatial, ecological, and historical biogeography. The founding editor-in-chief was David Watts, followed by John Flenley (1936-2018), Philip Stott (1987-2004), Robert J. Whittaker (2004-2015), and Peter Linder (University of Zurich; 2015–2019). As of early 2023, the editor-in-chief was Michael N Dawson (University of California, Merced).

In 2023, most editors and the editor-in-chief have resigned protesting that the publisher "seemed to emphasize cost-cutting and margins over good editorial practice".
