From past mass extinctions to current disastrous wildfires, life on Earth, and the ways species interact with each other and their environment, have been shaped by a long history of extreme events.
This Collection welcomes submissions from all areas, as well as interdisciplinary research, focusing on how extreme events influence the ecology of single species and whole ecosystems. We will consider research providing insights into past events and outcomes, as well as that which bears on present conservation efforts and future projections.
