An interview with the Senior Editors of the British Ecological Society journal Methods in Ecology and Evolution - Rob Freckleton, Bob O'Hara and Jana Vamosi. They talk about what sets it apart from other journals, their favourite articles, and the kinds of papers that they would like to see more of.
