Evolutionary Biology and Ecology of Cancer

In this collection, we welcome articles that pertain to the subject of how eco-evolutionary principles can be applied to understand tumorigenesis or how eco-evolutionary principles can be applied to develop diagnostics or therapeutics for cancer diagnosis, prevention, and / or treatment.
Given the interdisciplinary nature of this topic, the collection is a collaboration between the journals BMC Ecology and Evolution and Medical Oncology. The aim is to foster crosstalk between eco-evolutionary and oncology perspectives to advance our understanding of cancer.
To express your interest to contribute, please contact the editors of the journal you wish to submit to:
BMC Ecology and Evolution: Guest Editor Prof Ignacio González Bravo (via Jennifer.harman@springernature.com)
Medical Oncology: Editor in Chief Prof Kenneth James Pienta (via Vicky.brewis@springernature.com).
