Most-cited papers in BMC Ecology and Evolution

Diversity and evolution of the transposable element repertoire in arthropods with particular reference to insects

Malte Petersen, David Armisén, Richard A. Gibbs et al. · 9 Jan 2019

BACKGROUND: Transposable elements (TEs) are a major component of metazoan genomes and are associated with a variety of mechanisms that shape genome architecture and evolution. Despite the ever-growing number of insect genomes sequenced to date, our understanding of the diversity and evolution of insect TEs remains poor. RESULTS: Here, we present a standardized characterization and…

The skeletome of the red coral Corallium rubrum indicates an independent evolution of biomineralization process in octocorals

Nathalie Le Roy, Philippe Ganot, Manuel Aranda et al. · 11 Jan 2021

BACKGROUND: The process of calcium carbonate biomineralization has arisen multiple times during metazoan evolution. In the phylum Cnidaria, biomineralization has mostly been studied in the subclass Hexacorallia (i.e. stony corals) in comparison to the subclass Octocorallia (i.e. red corals); the two diverged approximately 600 million years ago. The precious Mediterranean red coral, Corallium rubrum, is…

Airborne environmental DNA metabarcoding detects more diversity, with less sampling effort, than a traditional plant community survey

Mark D. Johnson, Mohamed Fokar, Robert D. Cox et al. · 6 Dec 2021

BACKGROUND: Airborne environmental DNA (eDNA) research is an emerging field that focuses on the detection of species from their genetic remnants in the air. The majority of studies into airborne eDNA of plants has until now either focused on single species detection, specifically only pollen, or human health impacts, with no previous studies surveying an…

A second view on the evolution of flight in stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea)

S Bank, Sven Bradler · 12 May 2022

BACKGROUND: The re-evolution of complex characters is generally considered impossible, yet, studies of recent years have provided several examples of phenotypic reversals shown to violate Dollo's law. Along these lines, the regain of wings in stick and leaf insects (Phasmatodea) was hypothesised to have occurred several times independently after an ancestral loss, a scenario controversially…

Horizontal gene transfer and recombination analysis of SARS-CoV-2 genes helps discover its close relatives and shed light on its origin

Vladimir Makarenkov, Bogdan Mazoure, Guillaume Rabusseau et al. · 21 Jan 2021

BACKGROUND: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic is one of the greatest global medical and social challenges that have emerged in recent history. Human coronavirus strains discovered during previous SARS outbreaks have been hypothesized to pass from bats to humans using intermediate hosts, e.g. civets for SARS-CoV and camels for MERS-CoV. The discovery of an intermediate host of…

BMC Ecology and Evolution template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the BMC Ecology and Evolution format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the BMC Ecology and Evolution template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official BMC (BioMed Central) format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does BMC Ecology and Evolution use?
BMC Ecology and Evolution uses Numbered (Vancouver) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: 1. Smith A, Jones B, Lee C. A representative article title. BMC Ecology and Evolution. 2023;12(3):45–58.
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to BMC Ecology and Evolution?
No. DocuGuru generates the bmcart LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a BMC (BioMed Central)-ready BMC Ecology and Evolution document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the BMC Ecology and Evolution template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the BMC Ecology and Evolution format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is BMC Ecology and Evolution?
BMC / BioMed Central journal. It is a life sciences and medicine journal, published by BMC (BioMed Central).
Can I export a submission-ready BMC Ecology and Evolution PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official BMC Ecology and Evolution template (the bmcart class) that is ready to submit to BMC (BioMed Central), together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the BMC Ecology and Evolution template cost?
You can start writing in the BMC Ecology and Evolution template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready BMC Ecology and Evolution PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
