These are some of the hottest sources for conservation science with bite…

Conservation Letters (Wiley-Blackwell): A new, online-only scientific journal publishing empirical and theoretical research with significant implications for the conservation of biological diversity (read related post). Conservation Letters does not yet have an ISI Impact Factor, but will be ISI-listed in 2010 and likely receive an Impact Factor in 2011. Initial data suggest that the Impact Factor will be highly competitive (but I won’t yet speculate on the anticipated range).
