A measure of the success of a journal is that each new issue, or digital alert, includes a couple of papers that pique your interest, perhaps adding a new perspective to your research questions. The collection of papers in this Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution: 2019 Highlights eBook represents a sample of published papers that attracted the interest of the Specialty Chief Editors and members of the editorial office. While the collection is largely eclectic, it does represent the breadth and methods of enquiry that are published in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution. We hope that some of the contributions in this collection similarly interest you.

If nothing else, 2020 reminded us that, whether we like it or not, human society forms part of a broader ecological community that includes species with management challenges. My experience in Melbourne highlighted how environmental threats to humanity are best managed when governments adopt evidence-based strategies (that might also require incentives for human cooperation). Fundamental research, ranging from quantitative natural history to broader insights about ecological and evolutionary processes, invariably forms the backbone of such evidence. The collection of papers in this 2020 Highlights eBook represents a sample of articles in Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution that contribute to our collective wisdom in the discipline and generated sizeable interest among our readers. We hope you also find them interesting.

Advances in molecular biology, remote sensing, systems biology, bioinformatics, non-linear science, the physics of complex systems and other fields have rendered a great amount of data that remain to be integrated into models and theories that are capable of accounting for the complexity of ecological systems and the evolutionary dynamics of life. It is thus necessary to provide a solid basis to discuss and reflect on these and other challenges both at the local and global scales. This volume aims to delineate an integrative and interdisciplinary view that suggests new avenues in research and teaching, critically discusses the scope of the diverse methods in the study of complex systems, and points at key open questions. Finally, this book will provide students and specialists with a collection of high quality open access essays that will contribute to integrate Ecology, Evolution and Complexity in the context of basic research and in the field of Sustainability Sciences.

Food Ethics: The Basics is a concise yet comprehensive introduction to the ethical dimensions of the production and consumption of food. It offers an impartial exploration of the most prominent ethical questions relating to food and agriculture, including: Should we eat animals? Are locally produced foods ethically superior to globally sourced foods? Do people in affluent nations have a responsibility to help reduce global hunger? Should we embrace bioengineered foods? What should be the role of government in promoting food safety and public health? This second edition has been revised and updated throughout, not only to take in the latest empirical and policy information, but also to address the impact of major issues such as the COVID-19 pandemic, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, AI and machine learning, and the rapid growth of the "gig economy." Using extensive data and real-world examples, as well as providing suggestions for further reading, Food Ethics: The Basics is an ideal introduction for anyone interested in the ethics of food.
