Biodiversity has become a blockbuster paradigm of modern civilization, and very rightly so. How can chemistry possibly contribute to the understanding of biodiversity? The raison d'etre of this journal is to reveal what links chemistry and biodiversity and to demonstrate how chemistry can contribute to our understanding of biodiversity with the ultimate goal to benefit from nature and to preserve it. Chemistry & Biodiversity is intended to publish work on all aspects of biodiversity studied at the molecular and macromolecular levels.
