Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The distribution patterns of algae are constantly changing, and these distributions can have consequences on marine environments as they are impacted by climate changes. Several factors are affecting the patterns and responses of marine floras: Anthropogenic introductions, adaptability/plasticity of native species, natural dispersal capabilities, and the level of genetic variation in populations. Molecular methodologies have enhanced our understanding of species distribution and variation, and ecological studies have revealed the impacts of dispersal on local environments. Therefore, studies, at all scales, temporally and spatially, will aid in our understanding of these processes and may give us insight into the future of marine floras and their responses to climate impacts.

Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Diversity is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
