I seek manuscripts that capture the excitement and importance of modern biology, whether written for scholars, students, or general readers. For general readers, I am interested in books that are rich with science yet engagingly written. These books often have an inspiring message about how science is done or its impact on the world. Examples include Thomas Seeley’s Honeybee Democracy, Beth Shapiro’s How to Clone a Mammoth, Kate Clancy’s Period, Sean Carroll’s The Serengeti Rules, Jaap de Roode’s Doctors by Nature, Kevin Mitchell’s Free Agents, Lars Chittka’s The Mind of a Bee, and Karen Bakker’s The Sounds of Life. I also seek monographs and textbooks that offer fresh syntheses, advance new theories, or serve as important learning resources. Examples include The Theory of Ecological Communities by Mark Vellend, Evolution Evolving by Kevin Lala, Mathematics for the Life Sciences by Erin Bodine, A Biologist’s Guide to Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Evolution by Sarah Otto, and Modeling Social Behavior by Paul Smaldino. In all cases, I am interested in books that cross traditional divides, such as those between theory and empiricism, between molecular and organismal biology, and between biology and the social sciences and humanities. Topically, I publish in ecology, evolution, animal behavior, paleontology, biological anthropology, microbiome science, genetics, and computational biology, although I welcome submissions from across biology. For my perspective on publishing, and science publishing in particular, you can listen to the interview I did with Leslie Wang for her .
