Rosenzweig has a large body of editorial work spanning from 1977 to present, founding the journals Evolutionary Ecology and Evolutionary Ecology Research as well as the publishing house, Evolutionary Ecology Ltd. with the help of his wife Carole.[1][4] When the Journal of Evolutionary Ecology was sold and the prices were to be raised, he stepped down from his editor in chief position and founded Evolutionary Ecology Ltd, which published the journal Evolutionary Ecology Research.[4][1]
Rosenzweig's articles cover topics ranging from species diversity to predation dynamics and includes work on environmental issues and public policy.[5][1] He has published three books on the origins and conservation of species diversity; both are for technical and general audiences.[4][1] He received the Eminent Ecologist Award from the Ecological Society of America in 2008 which is given to a senior ecologist for significant contributions to the field of ecology.[6][7][4][1]
