Frontiers of Biogeography (FoB) is the scientific journal of The International Biogeography Society (TIBS, biogeography.org), a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion, and public understanding, of the biogeographical sciences. TIBS launched FoB in 2009 to provide an independent forum for biogeographical science, with the academic standards expected of a journal operated by and for an academic society. It is published by Pensoft Publishers on behalf of the International Biogeography Society using the ARPHA Publishing platform. ^[1] The current Editor-in-Chief is Robert J. Whittaker. ^[2]
