Journal of Urban Biology is a peer-reviewed scientific journal dedicated to advancing the understanding of biological processes within human-dominated environments. We provide a platform for researchers to publish original findings on how biota—including flora, fauna, microbes, and fungi—interact, adapt, and thrive in urban ecosystems.

Our primary focus includes, but is not limited to:

Urban Ecology:
Population dynamics and community structures in green spaces and industrial areas; species interactions in fragmented landscapes; and the biological impacts of urban pollution (air, water, soil, light, and noise).

Adaptation, Physiology, and Morphology:
Evolutionary adaptations (genetic/epigenetic) to urban stress; eco-physiology and survival mechanisms related to the Urban Heat Island effect; and morphological or phenotypic shifts driven by habitat modification.

Biodiversity and Conservation:
Inventories of endemic, rare, or invasive species in urban areas; in-situ and ex-situ conservation strategies; and the role of green and blue corridors in maintaining biological connectivity.

Urban Microbiology and Environmental Health:
Microbiomes of built environments and public infrastructure; zoonosis and the biology of disease vectors in high-density areas.

Applied Urban Biology:
The use of bioindicators for environmental monitoring; biological perspectives on Nature-based Solutions (NbS) and green roofs; and the assessment of ecosystem services provided by urban biota.
