Preprints Ecology, Ecological Applications and Ecological Monographs
In the interest of making scientific findings available for distribution and citation as quickly as possible following acceptance, we are pleased to now offer authors the option of posting an online pre-publication version of their accepted manuscript as a "preprint." The preprint is a PDF of the final version that was uploaded and approved by the author(s). The preprint will include the final DOI and will be citable as "in press." Upon publication, the final version will have the same DOI as the preprint. While the paper has been through the usual rigorous peer review process of ESA journals, it has not been copy-edited, nor have the graphics and tables been modified for final publication. Also note that the paper may refer to online Appendices and/or Supplements that are not yet available. Readers should be aware that the final, published version will look different from this version and may also have some differences in content.
